Osteoporosis
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by the weakening of bones, making them fragile and more prone to fractures. This condition often affects the spine, hips, and wrists, leading to a higher risk of compression fractures in the vertebrae. At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we are committed to helping individuals manage osteoporosis-related back pain, regain strength, and improve their quality of life through tailored, multidisciplinary care.
Why Does Osteoporosis Happen?
Natural bone density loss with aging.
Reduced estrogen in women during menopause and testosterone in men.
Lack of calcium, vitamin D, or essential nutrients for bone health.
Limited weight-bearing or strengthening activities.
Thyroid disorders, certain medications, and chronic illnesses.
A genetic predisposition to weaker bones.
Understanding the risk factors can empower patients to take preventive steps and seek timely care.

Common Symptoms of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” because it typically has no symptoms until a fracture occurs. Signs that might indicate osteoporosis-related back pain include:
- Back Pain: Chronic or acute pain due to weakened vertebrae or fractures.
- Loss of Height: Spinal compression can cause noticeable height reduction.
- Stooped Posture: A hunched appearance (kyphosis) from spinal fractures.
- Fractures: Sudden fractures from minor falls or simple movements.
If you experience persistent back pain or notice changes in posture, consulting a healthcare professional is crucial.
