AJRC - Osteoporosis Treatment in India
Osteoporosis is a complex condition that requires a multifaceted approach to treatment and prevention. It's crucial to acknowledge that simply beginning a calcium supplement regimen isn't a guaranteed shield against osteoporosis. If you suspect you might be at risk or are concerned about osteoporosis, taking the initiative to schedule a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon at AJRC is the prudent first step. Remember the adage, "A stitch in time saves nine." Early assessment can make a significant difference in your bone health.
Osteoporosis Prevention:
Prevention of osteoporosis begins by delving into your medical history, addressing risk factors such as alcohol consumption, and helping you quit smoking. Lifestyle changes to counter a sedentary routine are considered, and we perform a rigorous risk assessment. In-depth investigations are vital. Apart from routine X-rays and assessing Vitamin D levels, our osteoporosis specialists employ the gold standard DEXA scan (dual X-ray absorptiometry). This scan quantitatively provides a score, which offers valuable insights into your fracture risk. Based on this score, we develop customized treatment plans.
