The first step in the defense of your bone health is a precise and highly accurate measurement of your skeletal density. As there are no obvious signs, we refuse to wait for a fracture to take action. With a focus on the early identification of bone density loss, our expert team employs early detection advanced treatment protocols to devise a plan for maintaining healthy bone.
An osteoporosis assessment in Dubai’s clinics goes beyond examining bone density. It must include a complete fracture risk analysis. At this stage, our osteoporosis specialist Dubai employs the FRAX model and other clinical tools to compute your personal risk and determine the probability of a fracture occurring in the next decade. Factors incorporated into your assessment include family history, social history, age, and Active Joint stability.
The uniqueness of skeletal systems means your risk factors and scans should determine the medical team’s choice of osteoporosis correction treatment – a plan that was individualized for your metabolic needs. A combination of medically prescribed therapies, rehabilitation of a physical and mental nature, and a specific type of nutriment is employed to achieve this.
Osteoporosis occurs when your body accelerates the rate that the old bone is broken down vs. the rate that new bone is created (and, by consequence, the density and structural integrity of your bones). Osteoporosis is characterized by fragile and porous bones.
Osteoporosis is often referred to as the “silent disease” because bone loss can occur insidiously without causing any pain. Like other diseases, however, as the structural integrity of the bone continues to decrease, the body may begin to show physical warning signs.
Chronic dull pain in the mid-to-lower back may indicate your vertebrae are developing micro-fractures. These may also lead to the loss of structural height in the vertebrae and you may notice that you are getting shorter.
As the vertebrae of the spine lose integrity and compress, the curvature of the spine causes a physically visible shift to a hunched or stooped (kyphotic) posture. This also causes chronic strain to the neck and back.
Under normal circumstances a low energy fall should not be enough to break a bone. If you have sustained a fracture from a trivial or low energy fall this is a critical sign that your bone density is of such concern that you should seek the advice of an osteoporosis doctor Dubai.
While less common, some patients notice early structural changes in other areas of the body. Weak, easily broken fingernails or receding gums (which can occur as the jawbone loses bone density) can be early indicators that your body's overall mineral levels are shifting.
