Get Osteoporosis Treatment Online

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become porous and fragile due to loss of bone mineral density and deterioration of bone tissue. It is most commonly diagnosed using a DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan, which measures bone density and produces a T-score. A T-score of -2.5 or lower confirms osteoporosis.

Bisphosphonates such as alendronate (Fosamax) and ibandronate (Boniva) are the most widely used first-line medications. Other options include denosumab (Prolia), raloxifene (Evista), and anabolic agents such as teriparatide (Forteo) or abaloparatide (Tymlos) for severe cases. Vitamin D3 and calcium supplementation are typically recommended alongside prescription therapy.

Postmenopausal women face the highest risk due to declining estrogen levels, which accelerate bone loss. Other risk factors include older age, low body weight, smoking, excessive alcohol use, long-term corticosteroid use, family history of osteoporosis, low dietary calcium intake, and certain chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or hyperthyroidism.

Osteoporosis cannot be fully reversed, but treatment can significantly slow or halt further bone loss and, in some cases, modestly improve bone density. More importantly, the right medications substantially reduce the risk of fractures, which is the primary goal of therapy.

A prior DEXA scan result is very helpful for our physicians to assess your T-score and fracture risk, but it is not always required to get started. Our licensed physicians will review your full clinical history, risk factors, and any available imaging to determine whether prescription treatment is appropriate for you.

Yes. Weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, and resistance training helps stimulate bone formation. Adequate dietary calcium (1,000 to 1,200 mg per day for most adults) and vitamin D intake are essential. Quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and fall-prevention strategies at home also play an important role in reducing fracture risk.
