Specialized Osteoporosis Care to Protect Bone Strength and Prevent Fractures
Osteoporosis causes bones to weaken over time, increasing the risk of breaks from simple falls or minor impact. Many people don’t realize they have it until a fracture occurs. The most common areas affected include the hip, spine, and wrist.
At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our Bone Health Clinic provides early detection, advanced treatment, and fracture prevention strategies for patients at risk for osteoporosis. We focus on preserving bone strength and helping you stay active and independent.
Why Early Diagnosis and Treatment Matter
Bone loss often develops without symptoms. However, without proper care, osteoporosis can lead to:
- Increased fracture risk, especially in the spine or hip
- Loss of height or posture changes due to spinal compression
- Long-term pain and reduced mobility
- Loss of independence in daily activities
With early screening and the right treatment plan, we can help slow bone loss and lower your risk of serious complications.
How We Evaluate and Treat Osteoporosis at Michigan Orthopedic Center
Our Bone Health Clinic uses advanced diagnostics, including DEXA scans, to measure bone density and identify early signs of osteoporosis.
Once we understand your risk level, we create a treatment plan that may include:
- Medications that help slow bone loss or promote bone formation
- Nutritional support with guidance on calcium, vitamin D, and bone-healthy diets
- Exercise programs focused on weight-bearing and resistance movement to support bone health and balance
- Fall prevention strategies to reduce injury risk through home safety and movement guidance
If a fracture has already occurred, our orthopedic surgeons provide expert care to stabilize the injury and support your recovery.
Who Should Be Screened for Osteoporosis
We recommend bone density testing for patients who may be at greater risk, including:
- Women over age 50 and men over age 70
- Postmenopausal women with family history of osteoporosis
- Patients who have experienced low-impact fractures
- Individuals with certain chronic conditions or medications affecting bone health
