Osteoporosis belongs to the category of systemic diseases that develop due to a decrease in bone density. Basically, this pathology is diagnosed in women during menopause and in people from 60 to 70 years. It is the main cause of fractures in old age. How to treat osteoporosis and are there effective methods to help avoid the disease?

Therefore, estrogen or tibolone synthetic hormone treatment is often used in early menopause to prevent or treat osteoporosis in women suffering from altered annual symptoms. As with any other therapy, the benefits and risks must also be weighed against each other before estrogen treatment.

Calcium is an important component of crystalline hydroxyapatite, which provides a network of collagen fibers that form bone tissue, the necessary hardness and strength. Dairy products are the most important calcium supplements and provide 60 to 70% of daily calcium intake.

What is osteoporosis of bones?

With age, bone density decreases and this is considered normal. However, some of these changes occur earlier and proceed more intensively: osteoclasts - cells that destroy old bone tissue, function more actively than osteoblasts that create new, calcium is leaching from the bones, they become more fragile.

The extracted cheese is very rich in calcium. One portion of 40 g contains about 480 mg of calcium. Mineral water is also a significant source of calcium. However, the calcium content in different mineral water varies greatly. The daily dose of calcium depends on age.

These precursors are first activated in the liver and then in the kidneys. However, in the winter months this is not enough due to low solar radiation in our northern latitudes. In addition, the skin’s ability to produce a healthy vitamin decreases with age.

In patients treated for osteoporosis, it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, supplements other than osteoporotic drugs are also prescribed in everyday practice. However, this treatment is not enough to prevent bone loss over the past years. Effective and successful osteoporosis therapy is also based on several pillars that must be individually adapted to the affected person.

In women, this phenomenon is more common than in men. In children, osteoporosis is considered a very rare disease and manifests as bone pathologies associated with hereditary diseases, prematurity of the child, severe hormonal, metabolic disorders, defects of the musculoskeletal system, especially such as scoliosis.

Mechanical tension of the bone is an important factor in the formation and maintenance of the internal bone architecture, bone density and other bone properties. The bone mass depends, among other things, on the weight of the muscles. Through a focused and rigorous training program, the age-related loss of bone mineral can be reduced. Especially enhancing therapy improves responsiveness and coordination, as well as the safety of walking, which in turn reduces the risk of falling. In order to achieve the highest possible effect and at the same time be safe, one should advise, instruct and supervise well-trained experts.

Doctors distinguish 4 stages of osteoporosis:

  • the first is characterized by a decrease in bone density, but is asymptomatic;
  • the second - the bone skeleton becomes thinner, but its integrity is not completely broken;
  • the third - the disease covers several parts of the spine, from cervical to lumbar, bone density decreases even more, the shape of the vertebrae changes;
  • the fourth - the bone tissue is strongly demineralized, marked areas of enlightenment are noticeable on it, which change the shape of the vertebrae becomes larger, the shape of the bones begins to change.

Not only individually designed trainings, but also group programs can be effective, especially when they perform exercises that promote balance. With age, anxiety increases to osteoporosis, also called bone shrinkage. If too much bone tissue is lost over time, this can have unpleasant consequences: back pain, reduction in body size due to collapsing vertebrae and easily broken bones. Women are particularly affected. Treatment can help reduce the risk of fractures.

But is it worth measuring bone density at your own expense? And what can you do to strengthen your bones? Thanks to their material and their structure, bones are resistant. Outside they have a durable layer. The interior consists of thin stitched bone trabeculae and resembles the appearance of a sponge. The bone marrow is located between the stabilizing bone trabeculae. The strength and strength of the bone mainly depends on the amount of minerals that are deposited, especially on calcium salts. The fact that many people can hardly imagine is that our bone tissue is constantly rebuilt and updated.

Depending on the nature of origin, primary and secondary osteoporosis is isolated. The primary form of the disease arises from the natural deterioration of the bones. These include postmenopausal, senile, juvenile osteoporosis. The secondary is formed due to a number of diseases - hormonal, rheumatic, autoimmune pathologies, blood diseases.

It is estimated that for 8 to 10 years the whole essence of our skeleton exchanges abundance and growth. However, excellent architecture and stability are generally preserved. However, bone mass decreases continuously, but slowly. This is a normal aging process.

The boundaries between age-related bone loss and osteoporosis are fluid. In the case of osteoporosis, much more bone is removed than it is being built - the bone mass decreases faster than in the case with age. The beautiful bone architecture with its internal struts is also partially lost. The bone becomes porous. This reduces stability. As if parts of the corner pillars and some cross struts were removed on the Eiffel Tower. At an advanced stage, bones can break even during daily stress or without a recognizable cause, causing pain.

Based on the characteristics of the localization of bone lesions, several types of the disease are distinguished. Such types of osteochondrosis are known to medicine as spotted (the pathological process has a focal character), epiphyseal (the disease affects the femoral neck, the bones of the hands, wrists), diffuse osteoporosis (the disease covers all bones evenly).

Often, osteoporosis is an independent disease. It may, however, also be the result of another disease, such as chronic inflammatory disease  or a tumor disease. Drugs can also cause osteoporosis, for example, if higher doses of glucocorticoids or thyroid hormones are needed for a long period of time.

Anyone suffering from osteoporosis does not notice this at first, because sometimes there is no pain. However, as is often the case, the spine is affected, back pain is the first sign - especially when the vertebrae are no longer able to withstand normal loads and collapse. Bone pain can also be caused by "micro-damage." They are so small that they are not visible in the radiograph, as changes in the shape of the body of the vertebrae. When the nerves flowing between the vertebrae are pressed, it can cause severe acute pain.

Symptoms

How does spinal osteoporosis manifest itself? Bone thinning is slow and asymptomatic at first. The very first signs of osteoporosis can be detected only during a comprehensive medical examination. Pain in the bones and impaired motor functions requiring specific treatment appear already in the later stages of the development of the disease.

When vertebral bodies are sintered, the size of the body decreases, and the thoracic spine can shrink crosswise. Older women after menopause especially often suffer. With the very sick spinal cord injury, the devil's circle comes into action: the deformation also causes painful tension in the muscles. Movement is avoided, which accelerates the degradation of the bone, as well as the muscles that support the skeleton.

Prevention: 1 What to do for bones?

Is it not possible to avoid osteoporosis by one’s own behavior? But everyone can counteract the early and accelerated degradation of bones through their lifestyle — for example, physical activity and a complete diet. The sooner the better, because the one who builds his optimal bone mass at a young age will benefit from it when it decreases in age. By the way, it's almost never too late to do something for bone stability.

Severe osteoporosis in women and men is manifested in the same way: back pain, stiff posture, spinal deformity, reduced growth. Pain can occur in any parts of the spine, and if the disease affects the extremities (osteoporosis of the hip joint, knee), it is localized in an appropriate way - in the thighs, knees, hands, feet.

How is osteoporosis detected?

Improving agility is a positive side effect of sporting events. Half a liter of milk contains, for example, 600 mg, 20 g of Emmental cheese 220 mg and 100 g of fennel or broccoli 110 mg of calcium. Drinks are also suitable, such as mineral water rich in calcium. 000 mg of calcium is considered a good daily diet. Large volumes do not seem to reduce the risk of bone fractures. 2 In addition, older people who do not eat enough, or people with gastrointestinal disorders or those who eat unilaterally, consume too little calcium. Reduce the risk of falling, run safely and watch well. What is often forgotten: make your apartment durable and wear slip-resistant shoes. Your eyes should be checked regularly and the glasses should be adjusted. Caution with progressive lenses in old age. Quitting smoking also benefits your bones. This is especially true for women. Drugs that adversely affect bone structure often cannot be circumvented. Your doctor is called here because the optimum dosage can often significantly reduce this risk.

  • Movement strengthens muscles and contributes to the bone structure by mechanical stress.
  • Bone loss is inhibited.
  • A lot of calcium contains milk and dairy products and some vegetables.
Most patients who are finally diagnosed with osteoporosis go to a doctor because they suffer from back pain.

Heaviest clinical manifestation  diseases are fractures that, due to the excessive fragility of the bones of the skeleton, can occur due to the smallest effects. The femurs and radius are most susceptible to such deformations in osteoporosis. In patients with possible fractures of even the bones of the facial skeleton - the upper and lower jaw.

Since the boundaries between age-related bone loss and osteoporosis are fluid, the diagnosis is not easy. To rule out other causes of pain, consult with your doctor or health professional about the type of symptoms, history, and symptoms. Blood tests help identify or rule out other diseases that adversely affect the bone. If other diseases are largely excluded as a cause of pain and there are several risk factors, the diagnosis of osteoporosis becomes more likely.

Diagnostics

What doctor treats joints and bones? Increased fragility has many causes, so not only an orthopedic specialist specializing in problems of joints and bones deals with treatment, but also an endocrinologist, a traumatologist, a rheumatologist. For the early detection of bone demineralization, specialists use laboratory analysis for osteocalcin, the main marker of metabolic disturbances.

In this case, bone density measurement may be useful. Late stage injury spinal cord, x-rays or computed tomography can provide a diagnosis. Bone density is usually measured with a low dose of X-rays on the spine or hips. The more porous the bone, the more permeable it is to the rays. The so-called T-value provides information about this. This method may be useful if there is already some evidence of osteoporosis and there are particular risk factors for bone fractures.

Under this condition, the costs are reimbursed by the funds. There are no reliable limit values ​​for bone density, of which certain therapy must be given. If osteoporosis is detected, attempts are made to stop the disease with drugs. First of all, it is designed to prevent the risk of injury and fracture of other bones.

In the diagnosis of the disease using densitometry carried out using x-rays or ultrasound. The procedure helps to analyze bone density, diagnose the stage of osteoporosis and estimate the likelihood of fractures. In addition, by ultrasound or radiological densitometry, the doctor can monitor the effectiveness of therapy.

Especially for older people with additional risk factors for bone fractures, 200 mg of calcium is recommended daily. In studies with postmenopausal women, calcium supplements slowed bone loss, especially on the hips and lower shoulders, less on the spine. Whether calcium supplements are protected by older women from bone fractures cannot be clearly seen from studies. If osteoporosis is already more developed and associated with pain, the doctor usually prescribes a so-called bisphosphonate.

These substances accumulate in the bones and prevent degradation, but indirectly also new bone formation - and, therefore, continuous transformation. Bone density increases by an average of 5-10% in the first years of use. This means that approximately 60 patients must take the drug for one year in order to save a person from bone fracture. This is not a particularly impressive effect, but still a proven positive effect.

Treatment methods

On the question of whether osteoporosis can be cured, doctors give a negative answer. Disease therapy is aimed at stopping its progression and pain relief. For this purpose, special medications are used, such as drugs with calcium, exercise therapy, massage, physiotherapy. Treatment of osteoporosis in elderly women and men may include wearing orthoses that slow bone deformation.

Medication

Calcium preparations, fluorides, bisphosphonates, steroids, hormones, and vitamin preparations are used for drug therapy. Determining how to treat advanced osteoporosis in elderly patients, the doctor should take into account that such patients almost always have full or partial contraindications to taking a number of drugs.

Folk remedies

When choosing how to treat developing osteoporosis, some prefer unconventional methods, considering them safer than therapy with drugs that have side effects. For relief of symptoms, traditional medicine offers mummy-based recipes, medicinal herbs, honey, propolis, eggshell, walnuts.

Exercise therapy

Physical therapy for osteoporosis should be carried out for medical purposes and under the supervision of a specialist. Special gymnastics is selected taking into account the age, the physical capabilities of the patient, the stage of the disease, the severity of pathological changes in bone tissue. The load should be moderate, and it should be increased gradually.

Massage

Therapeutic massage for osteoporosis is aimed at reducing pain and strengthening the muscular frame supporting brittle bones. Its use must be agreed with the doctor. Home treatment with the use of massage is possible, but it implies only the most gentle effect on the body, precluding intensive rubbing or pressing.

Nutrition for osteoporosis in women

A diet for osteoporosis should include foods rich in calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus: sea kale, spinach, broccoli, cottage cheese, liver, nuts, fatty fish. For women with osteoporosis, food with estrogen content is recommended: legumes, flax seeds, bran, soy products. Useful onion soup, which slows down the leaching of calcium from bone tissue.

Prevention

The main way to prevent osteoporosis is a healthy lifestyle. Calcium-rich nutrition, walks in the sun, contributing to the production of vitamin D, sports, help to slow down the aging of bones. Careful attitude to the body is also important: sleep on a good mattress, sufficient rest, reasonable organization of life, thanks to which you do not need to constantly bend over.

Video: exercises for osteoporosis of the spine

If the doctor has allowed the patient physical therapy at home, it will be useful for him to get acquainted with various exercises that help with osteochondrosis. Over time, the body gets used to the same load, so it needs to be changed and alternated, and thematic videos will help to find new elements for the gymnastics complex in osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis of bones is a very common chronic systemic metabolic skeletal disease, which is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and pathological restructuring. This leads to increased bone fragility and the development in patients with osteoporosis of pathological fractures. The most common osteoporotic compression fractures of the vertebrae and neck of the femur.

Osteoporosis is called a silent epidemic, as the pathology does not make itself felt for a long time. The first symptoms are often fractures, very rarely patients complain of bone pain. Osteoporosis of the joints and bones affects mainly the elderly and is in 4th place among the causes of disability and death. Therefore, the treatment of osteoporosis and the prevention of its consequences is a priority task of modern gerontology and geriatrics.


The main complications of osteoporosis are bone fractures, which not only cause disability, but also shorten life expectancy.

Health food

Can osteoporosis be cured without a special diet? Definitely not! The main purpose of nutritional therapy is to ensure the supply of the required amount of calcium and vitamin D in the body with food.

  • It is necessary to increase the amount of foods enriched with calcium and vitamin D (leafy vegetables, broccoli, sardines, nuts, salmon, oats, legumes, dairy products, dried fruits, seafood) in the diet.
  • Include food rich in sulfur (onions, garlic, eggs), which is also essential for bone strength.
  • Enrich your food with foods with a high content of such trace elements as magnesium, silicon, zinc, phosphorus, copper, vitamins A, E, C, K.
  • Limit consumption of foods that inhibit calcium absorption and absorption (citrus fruits, tomatoes, alcoholic beverages, table salt, sweets, animal proteins).

Dietary nutrition in osteoporosis refers not only to the methods of treatment, but also to prevention. Therefore, the described principles of diet are suitable for everyone who is at risk and wants to avoid a similar fate.


  Daily intake of calcium and vitamin D for people of different ages.

Medical gymnastics for osteoporosis

Constant and adequate motor activity is shown to every person, regardless of age, and in patients with osteoporosis, physical therapy should become an obligatory habit. Constant physical exertion at a young age strengthens bones and increases their mineral density, in mature years, training allows you to maintain the desired level of bone mass, and in old age, physical exercises with adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D can slow down the development of osteoporosis and avoid its consequences.

Physical activity should not last less than 30 minutes and 5 times a week. Only in this case they will be effective. The best types of exercise are walking, aerobics, dancing, gymnastics.

Drug treatment of osteoporosis

What kind of doctor treats osteoporosis? Several specialists can deal with this problem: rheumatologist, therapeutist, gynecologist, endocrinologist, orthopedic traumatologist, family doctor. Unfortunately, but often effective treatment osteoporosis without drugs is impossible. Modern drug therapy is based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, that is, priority is given to those drugs that have proven their effectiveness in large-scale clinical studies.




  Regular physical activity is the key to good bone health, and not only

Everything drugs  for the treatment of osteoporosis can be divided into three groups:

  1. Drugs that affect both bone formation and bone resorption.
  2. Medications that inhibit bone resorption.
  3. Medications that promote bone formation.

First group

These include calcium supplements, vitamin D and its active metabolites. These are basic drugs that are used to treat osteoporosis in men and women in each case, regardless of the use of other medicines.

The most effective combination is taking 1200 mg of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D3 per day. It is important to say that such therapy is recommended for all people after the age of 60 years.

Also in this group of drugs are flavone compounds (Osteochin). They are appointed by long courses of 200 mg 3 times a day. Inhibit bone resorption, promote its mineralization, have an analgesic effect, therefore, are well suited for patients with bone pain. They are prescribed in addition to calcium and vitamin D drugs. Osteochin is also effective in combination with calcitonin and estrogens, but the result of treatment develops slowly.

The first group of medicines includes the osseino-hydroxyapatite complex, which is a substance of natural origin (ossein is a protein, and hydroxyapatite is a mineral complex of calcium and phosphorus). The drug has practically no contraindications and can be used even in pregnant and lactating mothers.




  The daily intake of calcium for an adult is 1000-1500 mg

Second group

Treatment for osteoporosis often requires the use of more complex drugs, especially in the case of menopausal forms of the disease. It was then that antiresorbents are prescribed - drugs that inhibit bone resorption.

This includes hormone replacement therapy with estrogen in menopause in women, and the sooner such therapy is started, the better protective effect it will have. How to treat osteoporosis with estrogen, will tell in detail a specialist such as an endocrinologist and gynecologist. Replacement therapy has many contraindications and side effectstherefore, the decision on its necessity is taken only by an experienced specialist after a detailed examination of the woman.

Calcitonin belongs to the second group. It is a hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. Its main function is to inhibit bone resorption and thus lower the concentration of calcium in the blood. Today, there are synthetic analogues of calcitonin, which are used as drugs. He is often prescribed to women who are not recommended hormone replacement therapy.

Bisphosphonates cause inhibition of cells that absorb bone, osteoclasts. Thus, they cause a decrease in the rate of bone demineralization and can be used for osteoporosis.

Strontium preparations. The metabolism of strontium in the human body is very similar to that of calcium. This trace element accumulates in the bones, increasing their strength, and also prevents demineralization, and therefore is used to treat osteoporosis.




  Treatment of osteoporosis is a difficult task that only an expert should solve

Third group

In search of how to cure osteoporosis with medicines, specialists began to use drugs that can activate the process of formation of new bone tissue. This group includes:

  • fluorine salts,
  • somatotropic hormone
  • parathyroid hormone.

It is important to emphasize that today the use of drugs from the group is somewhat limited, since therapy is associated with a large number of side effects. Apply this treatment only in cases of severe and resistant to all other forms of osteoporosis.

Often, people for the treatment of osteoporosis at home use a variety of homeopathy and folk remedies. It should be said that this, in most cases, does not harm, but there is no evidence of the effectiveness of such techniques. Therefore, alternative therapies can be applied, but only as an addition to the basic treatment, diet and proper lifestyle.




  Proven efficacy drugs used to treat osteoporosis

Lifestyle modification

Treatment and prevention of osteoporosis are impossible without changing lifestyle and getting rid of the risk factors of this disease and its complications. Drug or other treatment for osteoporosis is important and needs to be complemented by a modification of your lifestyle. The main recommendations of the World Health Organization for patients at risk of osteoporotic fractures:

We recommend you to read:What are the signs of osteoporosis in women?
  • maintaining a permanent active lifestyle;
  • sufficient exposure to the sun and fresh air;
  • avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol use;
  • compliance with individual standards of calcium and vitamin D in food, and, if necessary, to fill the deficit drugs;
  • maintain a body mass index of at least 19 kg / m2, since low body weight is a serious risk of fractures;
  • keep healthy sleep patterns;
  • regularly attend seaside resorts and motels.

With a well-designed treatment program that will take into account all the individual characteristics of the patient, the cause of impaired bone mineralization and risk factors, as well as with adequate preventive measures, the progress of osteoporosis can be significantly slowed down and sometimes stopped.

It is important to remember that, despite the long asymptomatic course, osteoporosis is the 4th largest among all causes of disability and death in the world. Therefore, you need to be attentive to your health and in time to seek medical help.

How to treat spinal osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is an extremely unpleasant disease, because it is because of it that bones become fragile and weak, as a result, they break easily. Not for nothing, the name of this disease is translated from Greek as "porous bone." It is difficult, perhaps, to describe this disease more accurately. In this article, we will understand what this disease is, what are its symptoms and how to treat osteoporosis.

What it is?

Osteoporosis is a constantly progressive disease that leads to a decrease in bone density. As a result, the microarchitecture of the bone is broken, it becomes fragile and prone to fractures. This disease appears as a result of disorders of bone tissue metabolism.

This disease is "invisible", but at the same time it is widespread. Statistics show that approximately 35% of women and 20% of men who have had fractures suffer from osteoporosis. At the same time, the same statistics show that mortality, which is associated with fractures caused by osteoporosis, exceeds the mortality from cancer (though not including deaths from lung cancer).

It is also worth noting that this disease is “age-related”; it is usually manifested in the elderly. In addition, women are more prone to this disease than men. Partly a large number of patients with osteoporosis in Europe and due to the fact that large European countries are rapidly "aging."

The causes of the disease

The causes of this disease are many. It may appear due to:

  • lack of movement (sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work);
  • chronic diseases of the stomach and intestines;
  • endocrine diseases;
  • genetic predisposition;
  • undue use of hormonal drugs;
  • menstrual disorders;
  • some other diseases.

It is also worth noting that lifestyle (poor diet, sedentary work) can also lead to the development of this disease. In other words, osteoporosis can contribute to:

  • alcohol abuse;
  • smoking;
  • coffee abuse;
  • low physical activity;
  • prolonged malnutrition;
  • calcium deficiency in the body;
  • lack of vitamin D.

In general, the cause of the development of this disease is a metabolic disorder, as a result of which the bone tissue does not receive the necessary trace elements and vitamins.

The most pronounced symptoms and signs of osteoporosis

Once again we recall that osteoporosis is an imperceptible disease that gradually develops for a long time without showing itself at all. Slow and gradual weakening of the bone tissue structures (most often hip and knee joints, as well as the spine) do not cause pain sensations, because the first sign of the presence of the disease is usually a fracture. However, in some cases, the patient may not be aware of the fracture (this happens with a fracture of the thoracic vertebra), since there is no pain. But a little later, when the fractured vertebra grows together, the posture is disturbed, and kyphosis can develop.



So, since often the first "visible" sign of osteoporosis is a fracture, how can you notice the appearance of this disease? It is not as difficult as it seems. Find any clinic where osteoporosis is treated, and consult a doctor for advice. The doctor draws attention to these signs:

  • a reduction in height (i.e., the reach of the hand is 3 centimeters or more body length);
  • the appearance of a stoop, the development of lordosis in lumbar  spine and kyphosis in the chest;
  • painful sensation during palpation of the spine, constant increased muscle tone;
  • reduction of the distance between the lower ribs and the crest of the wing of the Ilium, which occurs as a result of a decrease in the height of the spine;
  • appearance of skin folds on the sides of the abdomen.

In general, there are such types of diseases as acute and slow osteoporosis:

  • the acute course of the disease is usually associated with compression fractures of the vertebrae, which can occur in severe physical exertion  or minor injuries;
  • slow osteoporosis does not manifest itself sharp pains. This is a slow, "creeping" deformation of the vertebrae or joints. But a little later, severe pain syndromes can occur.

Diagnosis of the disease

A doctor treating osteoporosis must first diagnose this disease. One of the problems is the fact that it is not so easy to notice violations in the development of bone tissue and the loss of its mass. For example, radiography, which is performed when diagnosing this disease, cannot reveal osteoporosis at an early stage — it simply does not reflect bone loss of less than 30 percent. But this study is necessary because it allows you to identify various problems of the spine (fractures, etc.) resulting from the progression of the disease.

That is why the main research in the diagnosis is densitometry, which measures the density of bone tissue. In addition, computed tomography is almost always carried out, as well as various laboratory tests that allow to establish the level of calcium, phosphorus and other elements in the blood.

Based on the information received, the doctor will be able to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the optimal course of treatment.

Who to ask for treatment?

If the question arises as to which doctor treats osteoporosis, then we’ll specify that the orthopedist is in charge of treating this disease. In his absence, it makes sense to contact a traumatologist or surgeon.

Although it should be noted that osteoporosis itself is not treated by surgical methods, thus its consequences can only be eliminated. The very same disease is treated with medication and with the help of special diets.

Drug treatment is prescribed in cases where bone density is already low, the diagnosis of osteoporosis has already been established and confirmed, or if there is a fracture and there is a progressive loss of bone tissue, despite the fact that calcium and vitamin D preparations are being taken. and also the patient leads a fairly active (physically) lifestyle. In such a situation, prescribe:

  • calcium supplements that should stop bone loss;
  • anabolic agents that stimulate the formation of bone tissue;
  • antiresorptive agents that stop the destruction of bone tissue;
  • combination preparations containing calcium and vitamin D.

Another treatment method that can be used in cases where the disease is detected on early stages, or as prevention, is a diet. In principle, when the question of how to treat osteoporosis with folk remedies is discussed, these are the various diet options. The main requirements for them are:

  • proper nutrition, in which the body receives the required amount of phosphorus, calcium and vitamin D;
  • a certain ratio between the amount of calcium and phosphorus entering the body (calcium should be about 2 times more);
  • sufficient protein content;
  • required amount of sodium.

I think it is now clear to everyone what this disease is, which specialist treats osteoporosis and what this treatment is.

Osteoporosis treatment with folk remedies

Herbs will help

Treatment of osteoporosis at home usually includes a variety of herbal preparations, which are aimed at normalizing the balance of hormones in the body and the absorption of trace elements. They can be used not only in the treatment of osteoporosis, but also for its prevention.

  • Collection of three herbs. Sleep grass and woodberry odorous in one part, Chernobylnik - 2 parts. All this is poured half a liter of hot, but not boiling water, allowed to brew for an hour and drink this infusion for a quarter cup throughout the day. Filter infusion is not necessary. In this recipe, the word "part" refers to 2 teaspoons of herbs. The duration of admission is at least three months and not more than six months.
  • If spinal osteoporosis is caused by a lack of thyroid hormone, then herbs such as goat Durish, European Zyuznik, alder cones will help restore its normal functioning. Zyuznik brew 1 spoon (tea) half a liter of boiling water, insist a couple of hours and drink throughout the day. Durnikov brew a dessert spoon with half a liter of cooled boiled water. Insist and consume 50 - 100 ml after a meal.
  • Such herbs as St. John's wort, common rape, dandelion roots, calamus root have also proven themselves well. One of these plants should be boiled with boiling water, which is cooled to 70 degrees, at the rate of a tablespoon per cup of water. Insist about an hour and drink throughout the day. Additionally, you should eat dishes from sea kale.
  • For better assimilation of calcium in the bones of the spine, juniper berries, comfrey root, alfalfa, and sabelnik are excellent. It is better to prepare an infusion from one of these plants. Take a dessert spoonful of herbs, pour a glass of chilled boiling water, insist a couple of hours and drink during the day.
  • Compresses for osteoporosis of the spine. Take 100g. grass clover and chamomile flowers, pour them with half a liter of vodka and insist 3 days. Compress to do at night and the course in 2 weeks.
  • 200 grams of birch buds pour 500 ml of vodka insist week and apply for a month for compresses overnight.
  • It is very useful to take infusions of horsetail, geranium, knotweed with osteoporosis. These plants affect the normalization of the absorption of silicon, an element that, like calcium, affects the strength of bones. They also help to heal fractures. In this case, broths are taken orally and also make compresses on sore spots. Leafy vegetables, seafood, fatty fish contribute to the recovery of bone tissue of the spine. medicinal herbs, such as snyt or nettle leaves, dandelions are added to food.

Other Products of Traditional Medicine for Osteoporosis

Bow

Prescriptions for the treatment of osteoporosis with folk remedies suggest that the bones of the spine be maintained in good condition with onion soup. It will need two large onions. They need to cut and fry in vegetable oil.

Onions along with the husk put in a saucepan and pour a liter of water. Boil for 25 minutes and leave for 30 minutes. After that, discard the husk and divide the resulting soup into three parts. One part must be eaten on the first day, and the other two in the next 2 days. Store the soup in the refrigerator, warming before use.

Wine

Osteoporosis can be treated with wine. This will require 250 grams of red wine and rye flour. It is necessary to cook rye dough (sponge). Heat the wine to 50 or 60 degrees, remove from heat. Wine warmed must be rubbed into the skin in a circular motion until red. Then put the dough on the body and warm everything with a cotton blanket. The duration of the procedure is about an hour. Compresses should be done in a day at least a week.

Based on the wine can be made good remedy. Take 30 g of Cagoras, heat it, rub them a sore spot, attach a pair of burdock leaves on top, cover with a downy scarf, put a heating pad on top. The procedure should be carried out for 2 hours, a couple of times a week, a course per month.

Treatment of folk remedies with the help of mummy

Mumiye promotes the absorption of calcium in the bones of the spine. Mumiye ball should be no more than a match head, it is dissolved in 70 ml of water. Take the medicine twice 20 minutes before meals.

Eggs

Grind egg shells in a coffee grinder and take half a teaspoon of such powder. For people with high acidity, it is better to drink the powder with water, with low acidity, it is better to drink the aqueous solution of apple cider vinegar. To do this, in a glass of water to dissolve a teaspoon of honey and vinegar. it great toolwhich strengthens bones and also eliminates heartburn. The shell contains calcium carbonate, which is easily absorbed by the body.

Walnut Osteoporosis Treatment

You can take tincture or decoction of walnuts. Broth 75 ml, and tincture of a tablespoon 30 minutes before meals.

Vegetable broth

Such vegetable broth helps well to many. It is necessary to boil the peel of carrots, potatoes, garlic, beets, add there fried not peeled onions. All skins of these vegetables contain a large amount of the most essential trace elements for osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis Ointment

  1. Fry boiled yolks of eggs in a frying pan and then squeeze through cheesecloth. This oil should be rubbed into sore spots.
  2. Heat 100 ml in a water bath olive oil  and add 30 grams to it. crushed propolis. Then add 10 tablets of calcium gluconate and 100 grams. pounded rosehips. Everything should dissolve. Then insist and filter. In the resulting mass pour 100 grams of turpentine, 5 capsules of rifampicin and bring to homogeneity. Apply ointment on a cotton-gauze bandage and apply on a sore spot.

Some folk remedies for osteoporosis are few. You need to properly organize your diet. Be sure to eat foods rich in calcium, such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk, kefir, green vegetables, fruits, nuts. It is better to refuse coffee, alcohol, strong tea and replace them. herbal tea. Stop smoking. Food taken 5-6 times a day. Salads are best seasoned with vegetable oils, as they improve calcium absorption in the intestines.

When treating spinal osteoporosis with folk remedies, it is necessary to be consistent and have patience. You do not need to apply several recipes at once, it is better to try one at a time and conduct courses. Since many trace elements and nutrients accumulate for some time in the body, only then begin to act. If you follow your diet, engage in light physical labor, apply various popular methods of treatment, then osteoporosis will definitely recede. Unfortunately, it is impossible to cure the disease completely, but it is quite realistic to slow down its progress significantly.

Is it possible to cure osteoporosis using traditional methods or dietary supplements?

Strongly yes, I speak as a herbalist. But without a diagnosis, that is, without knowing the causative agent, which led to the loss of calcium to such an extent, I will definitely say that nothing will work out. If you give calcium and do not remove the cause of the disease, it will never stop. Doctors do not know the diagnostics that indicate pathogens, because they argue that diseases are incurable. And patients argue that this is not the case, find an alternative and then do not respect all doctors in a row. You need to go through bioresonance and hemoscanning, although I could say approximately here that this could lead to softening of the bones.

can. only doctors can not

I do not know how folk remedies, but bioadditives is a real deception.

Folk, no, but you can only supplement your body with missing vitamins and trace elements, such as calcium, for example. Refer to the doctor, he will prescribe treatment + in parallel, take dietary supplements, there will be a good result! Be healthy, do not hurt !!!

Osteoporosis cannot be cured with dietary supplements and folk methods.
  First, osteoporosis is a metabolic disease, and it cannot be cured by blunt devouring of chalk and plaster. Metabolism is regulated hormonally, and to influence the hormones are required quite serious drugs that can pick and appoint only a doctor.
  Secondly, with osteoporosis, the calcium content in the blood rises, it is washed out of the bone tissue, so the problem of osteoporosis is not calcium deficiency, but how to keep this calcium in the bone tissue.
Thirdly, those who say that osteoporosis can be cured by simply eating calcium — stupid deer, because, as I said, this calcium will never get into the bone tissue, and if it does, it will not linger.
  Fourthly, the treatment of osteoporosis is the correction of metabolism and hormonal levels. No supplements or traditional methods can cope with this, at least I would not risk it. Want to experiment on yourself and be a guinea pig? then go ahead, buy a thousand or so osteoporosin-dietary supplements and poison yourself as you like. But it is still better to spend this money on a reception from a good endocrinologist and the appropriate therapy.
  Once again I speak not only as a doctor, but also as a scientific researcher - osteoporosis cannot be cured with dietary supplements or traditional methods. Who does not agree, I am ready to argue on a piece of bucks.
