A comprehensive program to prevent as well as treat osteoporosis!
Osteoporosis is defined as reduced BONE MINERAL DENSITY due to altered bone
microarchitecture. Factors responsible for it are advanced age, female gender, menopause, use of
corticosteroids, low body mass index, smoking, Intake of alcohol, and many more.
In the initial stages, joint pain, weakness, muscle fatigue, and leg swelling are symptoms.
Osteoporosis is considered a SILENT DISEASE. Many times, OSTEOPOROSIS is not diagnosed
until the person sustains a fracture. 15-30% of men and 30-50% of women sustain an
osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime.
Many times osteoporosis is not diagnosed until the person sustains an OSTEPOROTIC fracture. The initial diagnosis can be easily made from the symptoms of the person. But it is important to identify the stage also. At the Initial stage, OSTEOPOROSIS can be managed easily with nutrition and exercises. At the advanced stage treatment with the appropriate medicines along with nutrition and exercises is mandatory
Osteoporotic fractures are the worst complication of osteoporosis and carry a significant economic burden to the individual and family. The osteoporotic hip and spine fractures are associated with mortality and decreased life expectancy. So, no doubt PREVENTION is the best strategy to fight osteoporosis.
Based on this strategy, PUNE OSTEOPOROSIS PREVENTION PROGRAM has been designed
with a multidisciplinary approach to tackle this problem.
The highlights of this program are:
Involvement of the Orthopedic surgeon and Gynecologist

further guide the person to a suitable exercise regime. Women around menopause suffer a lot
from OSTEOPOROSIS. Gynaecology consultation will help to treat HORMONES-related issues in
OSTEOPOROSIS.
Physiotherapist
Physiotherapy exercises can help to prevent as well as manage osteoporosis. A physiotherapist
creates a customized exercise program to strengthen your bones and muscles.

Gym exercises are not possible for all individuals at every age. Specific resistance exercises can
strengthen the bones and muscles at every stage of life. Functional workout for OSTEOPOROSIS

improves BALANCE & CO-ORDINATION which protect against falling, a major cause of
osteoporotic fractures.
