Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones become weak, brittle, and more likely to break. When the body can't keep up with the normal process of bone renewal, osteoporosis can occur.

This condition is often called the “silent disease” because it doesn’t show symptoms until a fracture happens — usually in the spine, hip, or wrist.

Common Signs of Osteoporosis:

  • Frequent fractures from minor falls or bumps
  • Back pain or stooped posture
  • Loss of height over time
  • Weakness in the spine or hips

Physiotherapy Treatment for Osteoporosis

Physiotherapy plays a very important role in the management of osteoporosis. At Saksham Clinic, Dr. Gayatri Joshi provides gentle, effective, and safe physiotherapy plans to help strengthen your bones and prevent fractures.

Physiotherapy Helps By:

  • Improving posture and balance
  • Building bone strength with weight-bearing exercises
  • Strengthening muscles around bones
  • Preventing falls and injuries
  • Reducing back pain from spinal compression

Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s age, bone health, and risk of falls.

Faqs

Physiotherapy cannot reverse bone loss, but it can help slow it down, prevent fractures, and improve mobility.

Absolutely. Physiotherapy improves balance and muscle strength, which reduces the risk of falling — a major concern for osteoporosis patients.
