About Osteoporosis:

As we age bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. It is often caused by a loss of bone density due to aging, hormonal changes, or insufficient calcium and vitamin D intake.

​

While some patients might need prescription medications and infusions, others can try supplements and a non-medication treatment such as Whole Body Vibration therapy mixed with strength building.

WHAT DOES CAROLINA NONSURGICAL ORTHOPEDICS OFFER? 

• Supplements for Osteoporosis:

  • Calcium: Essential for bone health, calcium supplements help strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures when paired with vitamin D.

  • Vitamin D: Enhances calcium absorption and bone mineralization, playing a critical role in maintaining bone density.

  • Magnesium: Supports bone structure and works synergistically with calcium to enhance bone health.

  • Glucosamine:  A natural compound found in cartilage that may support the maintenance and repair of joint tissues, reducing the symptoms of osteoarthritis and improving joint flexibility.

• Whole Body Vibration Therapy for Osteoporosis:

  • Whole-body Vibration (WBV): Involves standing on a machine that generates vibrations to stimulate muscles and bones, potentially improving bone density and strength.

  • Bone Stimulation: Vibration therapy may promote bone remodeling by stimulating osteoblasts (bone-forming cells), aiding in the prevention of bone loss.

  • Joint and Muscle Benefits: In addition to supporting bone health, vibration therapy can improve muscle strength and flexibility, which helps in maintaining balance and reducing the risk of falls.

  • Non-invasive: A low-impact, drug-free therapy that may be used in conjunction with other osteoporosis treatments to enhance results.
