Osteoporosis of the Spine

Osteoporosis of the spine is a condition where the bones in the spine become weak and fragile due to a loss of density. This can happen as we age or due to other factors like hormonal changes or lack of calcium and vitamin D. When the bones weaken, they are more likely to break or collapse, which can lead to painful fractures, height loss, and a hunched posture. Managing osteoporosis typically involves medications, dietary changes, and exercises to strengthen the bones and improve stability, helping to prevent fractures and maintain a healthier spine.
