Osteoporosis

Compression fractures can be caused by osteoporosis, trauma inflicted on the back, and tumors that have started in the bone. Tumors that occur in the spine also cause compression fractures.

there are treatments to reduce the effects of osteoporosis however there is no cure.

No one knows how to stop it from occurring or how to cure it the only thing that can be done about it is to control the damage it does while it runs its coarse. If you are lucky it may go into remission . but we don't understand why this happens when it does.

Easy stretching on the joints sitting down or standing or even to the sound of music with a little dance. The key is not to over do your self and make sure you warm up before hand and make sure not to strain your self. Make sure you have plenty of relax time afterwards for the body to heal.

Primary care providers, gynecologists, endocrinologists, and orthopedists all treat osteoporosis.

osteoporosis can be defined as a type of disease which is characterized by low bone mass and deteriorates the bone tissues makes them useless or weaker to support the body. It causes increased bone fragility and risk of fracture at large scale , particularly of the hip, spine and wrist etc as they are the important bones of the person for working.

The answer is: a calcium deficiency.

Osteoporosis can occur at any age but is a huge problem especially for people at and over the age of 50. Women have the greatest risk for osteoporosis and should consider seeing a doctor.

Osteoporosis is the degeneration, or break down, of bone matrix. Osteoporosis cannot be reversed, but there are things that can be done to decrease the degeneration of bone in the body, like weight-bearing exercise. Walking and weight lifting is a fantastic way to keep your bones strong as well as taking in 1200mg of calcium a day with Vitamin D to help absorb the calcium. Talk with your doctor if this is a condition you are experiencing and need more information for dietary guidelines.

no

I can't answer that, but I know that osteoporosis can be treated with optimal levels of vitamins K2, and D3, and high levels of magnesium, and calcium. Try pharmacies & supermarkets for the magnesium supplement types shown in http://www.real-depression-help.com/magnesium-for-depression.html or magnesium chloride. Some other minerals are involved, as well, but my memory fails me. Go to: http://www.mercola.com SEARCHBAR "osteoporosis". From memory, Dr. Mercola does not recommend the medications normally prescribed for osteoporosis, for reasons he explains, but check this out. If female, a short course of Hormone Replacement Therapy may be helpful; discuss with a doctor. ---- Opinion only: The course of osteoporosis can be divided into four stages with the fourth stage beginning as early as age 55 with fractures accompanied by chronic pain and deformity. This is one of the major reasons people are admitted to nursing homes. Although osteoporosis is debilitating, it does not affect life expectancy. I came across two web sites that discuss osteoporoses in detail. The first link web site is called Medline Plus and the second link is called Information about Osteoporosisand both links are displayed directly below this window.

An absorption of bone so that the tissue becomes unusually porous.

No not normally. They are more common in children as their bones are more bendable than an adults. This bendability allows the bone to fracture part way through instead of all the way through.

To prevent osteoporosis you have to eat a healthy diet, get exercie, and dont smoke.

Consuming one or two alcoholic drinks per day reduces women's risk of developing brittle bones and osteoporosis, according to recent research.

One study examined the effects of alcohol using identical female twins, in which one twin drank very little and the other twin drank moderately (one or two drinks each day). Twins were used because they are genetic clones. Because they have the same genes and grew up in the same environment, it's easier to control for any other possible confounding factors.

Another study, The National Osteoporosis Risk Assessment, followed over 200,000 postmenopausal women who were seen at doctors' offices, with no previous diagnosis of osteoporosis.The study found that drinking alcohol, estrogen replacement therapy, and exercise each reduced chances of developing osteoporosis.

In a third study, researchers examined the evidence from 33 studies that met quality standards for inclusion in the analysis. They found that alcohol consumption

increased femoral neck bone density for each drink per day over the range of 0- 3 drinks per day,

reduced the risk for hip fracture with increasing quantities consumed, and

was generally associated with reduced bone loss over time, compared to abstention from alcohol.

On the other hand, the abuse of alcohol can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis. Moderation (one or two drinks of beer, wine, or liquor) per day is the key.

Rickets are not contagious, it is basically cause by babies or young children not producing enough vitamin D, their bones will fail to form properly. The body will steal calcium from the bones to keep the blood levels of calcium high enough to stay alive. This is called osteomalacia in adults

there is no synonym

A high rich in calcium can help to prevent osteoporosis, but it will not always prevent it and cannot do so alone. Vitamin D is also necessary, because without it, we cannot properly absorb the calcium. Adults between the ages of 18 and 50 should get about 1000mg of calcium per day, while adults over 50 should get about 1200mg. However, calcium overdose can be dangerous as well, and you avoid consuming very high amounts of calcium. Usually up to 1500mg is recommended, and at 2500mg or higher, symptoms of overdose will begin.

yes, about every 1 in 3 women get osteoporosis, and about 1 in 12 men get osteoporosis

It can be anything fro a minor irritation to a completely debilitating condition that cant even be treated with joint replacement.

Osteoporosis occurs later in life and leads to weakening and fractures of the bones. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a congenital defect which causes fractures to occur from the slightest bump or touch in a child.

That is most commonly diagnosed as anorexia.

Probably... We see family members that have a tendency to lose bone mass... in other words, lose calcium in the bones of the spine and hip, resulting in the vertebra "crushing" down, resulting in spinal compression fractures and something called the "Dowager's hump" (you can google that)...

Bone thinning comes with the territory of aging, however there are things that you can do to delay the effects. If you eat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D and exercise on a regular basis early in life, and continue with these habits through your adulthood, you can slow the effects of bone thinning.
