Osteoporosis is a common bone condition, but if you are using popular home treatments to fight it you will likely find that home remedies are simply not working. 

The problem with do-it-yourself remedies

When many women enter menopause, they correctly believe they need to start watching out for signs of osteoporosis. Most adults adopt a series of lifestyle modifications to address the risk of osteoporosis. They like these home remedies for osteoporosis because they’re natural and easy to add to daily living for most people. Some choose to add supplements because they’ve heard of potential benefits, but without an evaluation of their specific nutritional needs.

Appropriate lifestyle adjustments are good general health rules, such as quitting smoking, adding weight bearing exercises, etc., and they can in fact help slow the progression of osteoporosis to some degree. However, they don’t address other symptoms that accompany the hormonal changes that cause osteoporosis.

A better approach is to look at the root of the problem and consider treatments that work on more than just bone brittleness and loss. At Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics, we provide comprehensive nutritional evaluations with hormone balancing that can help reduce or even eliminate many symptoms of menopause while also preventing the advancement of osteoporosis. By all means, continue with your preventative lifestyle changes, but consider them a supplement to more comprehensive therapy and give us a call today for nutritional testing to determine a precise approach to your specific needs!
