Osteoporosis - Dr. Chandrashekhar Dixit

Osteoporosis, often referred to as the "silent disease," is a condition characterized by weakened and brittle bones. While it's a common concern among older adults, especially women, it can affect people of all ages.

Why is Osteoporosis a Concern?

• Increased risk of fractures: Even minor falls or bumps can lead to broken bones.
• Pain and discomfort: Osteoporosis can cause bone pain and tenderness.
• Loss of independence: Severe osteoporosis can limit mobility and daily activities.

Symptoms of Osteoporosis
Unfortunately, osteoporosis often goes unnoticed until a bone fracture occurs. However, some potential signs include:

1. Back pain
2. Loss of height over time
3. Stooped posture
4. Bones that break easily

Early detection and prevention are key to managing osteoporosis. Dr. Chandrashekhar Dixit, an expert in Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Surgery, can provide comprehensive care and guidance. Treatment options may include:
