What is Osteoporosis of the Spine?
Osteoporosis of the Spine is a condition where the bones of the spine become weak, brittle, and prone to
fractures due to loss of bone density. This can lead to back pain, reduced height, hunched posture, and an
increased risk of vertebral fractures. At
AK Spine & Ortho Clinic, we focus on early diagnosis, fracture prevention, and
personalized treatment to strengthen your spine and improve mobility.
When Do You Need Treatment for Osteoporosis?
- Frequent back pain without a clear injury
- Sudden height loss or stooped posture
- History of minor falls causing fractures
- Post-menopausal women with low bone density
- Elderly individuals at high risk of
vertebral fractures
How We Treat Osteoporosis of the Spine:
- Bone Density Scan (DEXA): Accurate assessment of bone strength and fracture risk.
- Advanced Imaging: X-ray or MRI to detect compression fractures or spinal deformity.
- Medications: Calcium, Vitamin D, bisphosphonates, and bone-strengthening medicines.
- Physiotherapy: Exercises to improve posture, spine stability, and core strength.
- Fall Prevention Guidance: Lifestyle modifications to avoid fractures.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures (if required): Vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty to treat
painful compression fractures.
At AK Spine & Ortho Clinic, our goal is to prevent fractures, improve bone health, and
help you live confidently with a stronger spine. With early intervention and advanced orthopedic care,
osteoporosis can be effectively managed for long-term spinal wellness.
