Osteoporosis & Bone Health

Stronger bones. Fewer fractures. A plan built around you.

What this program does

Osteoporosis is more than “thin bones”, it’s a condition that raises the risk of serious fractures in the hip, spine, wrist, and shoulder. Our program identifies your true fracture risk and delivers a targeted strategy to rebuild bone, improve balance, and protect your independence.

Who this may help

  • Women in peri- or post-menopause
  • Men with age-related bone loss or low testosterone
  • Anyone with osteopenia/osteoporosis on DEXA
  • Patients with a prior fragility fracture or long-term steroid use
  • Active adults with recurrent stress injuries

Your evaluation

  • Comprehensive history, fall-risk and medication review
  • DEXA bone-density scan with FRAX fracture-risk score
  • Labs: vitamin D, calcium, thyroid, sex hormones (as indicated)
  • Lifestyle, nutrition, and strength/balance screening

Your evaluation

  • Bone-building activity: bone-safe strength training, impact progressions, posture & balance work
  • Nutrition: optimized protein, vitamin D, and calcium intake; alcohol/smoking counseling
  • Medications (when needed): bisphosphonates, denosumab, teriparatide/abaloparatide, romosozumab selected by your orthopedic provider based on risk and goals
  • Fall prevention: home-safety tips, vision/footwear review, assistive device coaching
  • Integrated rehab: on-site Physical Therapy for spine alignment, hip stability, and gait training

What to expect

  • Clear milestones at 6, 12, and 24 weeks
  • Measurable strength and balance gains
  • Repeat DEXA per guidelines to track progress
  • Ongoing coordination with your surgeon, PT, and (when appropriate) hormone-therapy team
