Osteoporosis is a state that is defined by weakened bones, increasing the possibility of fractures, especially in the spine, hips, and wrists. Dr. Ameya Rangnekar emphasizes identifying and managing osteoporosis to prevent fractures and maintain bone health. Osteoporosis frequently advances in silence until a fracture occurs, implementing early diagnosis and therapy is essential. Dr. Rangnekar employs a thorough approach to care, such as lifestyle modifications, drugs, and cutting-edge care options, tailored to each patient’s requirements for strengthening bones and improving quality of life.
Dr. Rangnekar’s multidisciplinary approach to osteoporosis includes:
Osteoporosis can result from a decrease in bone mass due to aging, hormonal changes, inadequate nutrition, or prolonged use of certain medications like steroids.
Diagnosis involves bone density testing (DEXA scan), blood tests, and sometimes X-rays to assess bone strength and detect fractures.
While not always preventable, osteoporosis risk can be reduced through a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Recovery involves managing pain, physical therapy to restore mobility, and ongoing treatment to strengthen bones and prevent future fractures. Dr. Rangnekar provides personalized care plans to support patients through their recovery and beyond.
