Spinal Osteoporosis

Spinal osteoporosis means weakening of bones, with aging not as many cells are formed as they are destroyed. And if the nutrients for bones such as calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and are not included in your diet, then the weakening of bones becomes faster. In such a situation, a nutritious diet and physical exercise are necessary to keep your bones healthy.



No symptoms of osteoporosis seen in the early days. But it can detect when fractures occur in your hip, wrist or spine. Osteoporosis can be detected on certain symptoms.
Loose gums: The gums become loose in this and teeth weaken in case, the density of jaw bone decreases.
Loss of grip-ability: A lack of ability to hold anything from your hands is a major symptom of osteoporosis.
Nail weakness: Weakness of the nail can also be one of the major symptoms of decreasing bone density.
Shorten length: When the spinal cord becomes compressed then there is a slight reduction in the length of the person.
Fractures: Fractures are the biggest sign of weak bones. If osteoporosis increases then fracture in the bone becomes easy.
Pain in the back or neck: In osteoporosis, the spinal cord also fractures and that causes pain in the back and neck.



 Osteoporosis i.e. weakening bones, there is no exact reason for weakening bones, yet according to experts, there are some main causes of the weakening of bone. According to the specialist, growing age is one the biggest reason for osteoporosis, the older you become the more possibility of osteoporosis is to develop. Having a sibling or a parent with osteoporosis can make you more susceptible to developing it. Women and men who have smaller body frames usually develop osteoporosis at an early age because they have a much lower mass than people with larger body frames. Low sex hormones weaken bones and low estrogen level is also the most common risk factor for developing osteoporosis in women during menopause.
Many thyroid hormones can cause bone loss if you have overactive thyroids then taking thyroid hormones medication to treat thyroid can develop osteoporosis. Calcium deficiency plays a major role in osteoporosis, low calcium consumption increases early bone fractures and low bone density. Limiting food consumption can severely weaken bones in both women and men. People with anorexia are more liable to develop osteoporosis.



Treatment of spinal osteoporosis
It is generally believed that anyone can reduce their risk of developing osteoporosis through the following treatment:
Calcium and vitamin D supplements- while calcium alone cannot cure osteoporosis, but it plays an important role in maintaining bone health by increasing bone mineral density and reducing the risk of fractures. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption to include vitamin D and calcium both in your diet. In severe cases, your doctor may give you a supplement to recover quickly.
Hormone replacement therapy- is an established treatment for osteoporosis, it helps to maintain bone mass in post-menopausal women.
Physiotherapy- bone may look like hard and lifeless structures, bones are more like a muscle. Bones are living tissues that become stronger by exercise. Physiotherapy management, as well as proper dietary intake, are beneficial for increasing bone strength for osteoporosis patients. Physiotherapy management for osteoporosis involves different types of exercise. A physiotherapist may recommend some exercises such as strengthening the back and protecting the spine from fractures. It is possible that a physiotherapist may also recommend not doing some exercise as it can put a sudden excessive strain on the bone.
Your physiotherapy plan for osteoporosis care will include some of the following:
Waking or weight-lifting exercise
Stretching and flexibility exercise
Strengthening exercise
Postural exercise
Balancing exercise

Surgery- surgery remains the last option when all the measures do not work. Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are two minimally invasive surgical procedures for osteoporotic fractures in the spine. In kyphoplasty, a small tube is placed through a small incision in the back and that creates a path through the back into the fractured area as the guided into the correct position. The surgeon uses x-rays to insert a below into the vertebrae then inflates it. The inflation of the balloon returns the fractured pieces to a more appropriate position, relieving pain and creating a cavity. After the balloon is removed, the doctor fills the cavity with a material that hardens and stabilizes the bones. And in vertebroplasty, this is the minimally invasive procedure type of surgery where the surgeon will insert low viscosity cement directly into the damaged vertebral body to stabilize the fracture and it will also prevent further deformity. 

If you are struggling with the pain of osteoporosis, then these two surgical procedures are enough to reduce the symptoms.
