In the early stages of bone loss, you have no pain or other symptoms. Once your bones have weakened, you may have osteoporosis symptoms that include:
- Back pain, which can be severe if you have a fractured or collapsed vertebra
- Loss of height over time, with an accompanying stooped posture
- Fracture of the vertebrae, wrists, hips or other bones
There are many prescription drugs that can be used to build new bone but the result is often brittle bone. Using bio-identical hormone therapy and other holistic approaches, we have seen patients increase their bone density significantly with our treatment approach.
