One of the most serious of degenerative bone diseases, osteoporosis plagues mostly women and has no symptoms early in its progression, but is quite painful in its late stages. There are some ways to treat osteoporosis though. Medicines and lifestyle changes are the most common methods of osteoporosis treatment. There are Bisphosphonates which can stop or delay bone loss in women who have already gone through menopause, Calcitonin nasal spray can relieve bone pain, and parathyroid hormone which can help strengthen bones in women who are prone to breaks.
There are exercises that can help with osteoporosis such as lifting weights, playing tennis, rowing machines, dancing, yoga, and running. These help keep bones strong by bearing weight and using tension to test the durability of bones in patients going through osteoporosis treatment. There are vitamins that can enhance the calcium level in the body, which builds bone tissue.
Diet is another way to help keep the symptoms of osteoporosis at bay. Calcium-rich foods such as cheese, yogurt, milk, spinach, sardines, and tofu are very good for people who suffer from osteoporosis. Calcium is the most important thing that someone undergoing osteoporosis treatment can have. Bone density tests should be done on average of once every two to three years.
Smoking and alcohol can make the symptoms and progression of osteoporosis worse. Alcohol can also lead to falling, which is never good for anyone who has bone density loss. Most patients who are undergoing osteoporosis treatment are instructed to stop taking any medicines which can inhibit their motor functions or ability to stand and walk correctly.
Treating osteoporosis with surgery is not an option currently, but there is a great deal of research being done to find a treatment. There is a smaller surgery to repair individual vertebrae damaged by osteoporosis called a vertebroplasty. You can also have a procedure done to repair cracks in broken bones as well, which is called a kyphoplasty and uses glue to fill in missing bone fragments.
Prednisone, rheumatoid Arthritis, and certain types of cancer can cause osteoporosis, but there are treatments for patients with this degenerative bone disease. Diet, medicines, exercises, and cessation of certain activities can prevent the worsening of osteoporosis. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned about being at risk for osteoporosis or for proper osteoporosis treatment options.
