Osteoporosis
What is Ostesoporosis?
Understanding the condition
Osteoporosis is a condition in which weak bones become porous and fragile, increasing the risk of fractures from even minor falls or everyday activities. Progressive bone loss can affect the feet and ankles, leading to stress fractures, chronic pain, and slower healing, particularly in older adults and postmenopausal women. Factors such as calcium deficiency and low vitamin D levels may contribute to reduced bone health and increase the likelihood of fractures. Early osteoporosis screening, including a bone density test or bone density scan, together with appropriate osteoporosis treatment, is essential for fracture prevention, maintaining bone strength, and preserving long-term mobility.
When to suspect Osteoporosis?
Signs & Symptoms
Frequent or unexplained foot or ankle pain
Fractures from minor injuries or simple movements
Family history of osteoporosis or brittle bones
How We Diagnose Osteoporosis
Diagnosis begins with a clinical evaluation and review of medical history, including risk factors such as age, hormone levels, and nutrition.
Dr. Malek Abu-Al-Nadi may recommend a bone density scan (DEXA) to measure bone strength and identify early-stage bone loss.
X-rays of the feet and ankles help detect stress fractures or thinning bone structure.
This assessment allows for an individualized treatment plan focused on bone protection and fracture prevention.
How is Osteoporosis treated?
How We Heal Osteoporosis
- Bone-strengthening medications to slow bone loss and promote regeneration
- Calcium and vitamin D supplementation to support bone metabolism
- Weight-bearing and resistance exercises to maintain bone density and balance
- Custom orthotics or supportive footwear to reduce stress on fragile bones
- Regular bone density monitoring to track progress and adjust treatment
