What Is Osteoporosis?

What Is Osteoporosis?

We often see patients who are dealing with osteoporosis who are struggling with an element of pain resulting from their condition. Osteoporosis is a bone disease, diagnosed when the body loses bone density. This can occur over time, or if the body starts to produce too little bone replacement material (as your bones are consistently being remodelled). While regular bones under a microscope resemble a honeycomb, a patient with osteoporosis will have much larger holes, which means the bones can be more brittle and likely to break. It can also affect the spine, which can cause the patient to alter their posture due to loss of stability – this in turn can cause many spinal issues to develop as a result.
