Millions suffer silently from weak bones. Learn how osteoporosis causes pain in your spine and joints and what to do to prevent it.

OSTEOPOROSIS AND BACK PAIN

WHAT IS OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases fracture risk. It often shows no symptoms until bones break.

HOW OSTEOPOROSIS AFFECTS YOUR BACK

Weak spine bones lead to back pain, height loss, and posture changes. Thoracic and lumbar regions are most affected.

PAIN WITHOUT FRACTURES

Back pain can occur even without fractures due to spinal changes and muscle strain caused by weak bones.

SIGNS TO WATCH

Sudden severe back pain, numbness, loss of height, or spinal curves need immediate medical attention.

OSTEOPENIA VS OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteopenia is mild bone loss. Osteoporosis is severe and increases fracture risk. Early detection is key.

RISK FACTORS

Age, gender, low calcium, lack of exercise, smoking, and family history increase the risk of weak bones and back pain.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Medicines, physical therapy, weight-bearing exercises, and in severe cases, surgery can reduce pain and strengthen bones.

KEEP YOUR BONES STRONG

Eat calcium-rich foods, stay active, avoid smoking, and get regular checkups to protect your spine and prevent fractures.
