Did you know that osteoporosis, the debilitating disease in which bones become brittle and break easily, can actually be helped and treated with chiropractic care? Here at Third Space Medical, our NJ chiropractors use a non-surgical, hands on approach to the treatment of osteoporosis, preventing it from getting worse, and preventing future injuries from the disease. Commonly, our treatments include spinal manipulation and adjustments, relaxation techniques, rehabilitative exercises, and counseling about nutrition as well as dietary supplements.
When you see one of the chiropractors here at Third Space Medical for osteoporosis, you’ll experience an improved range of motion and mobility which will help you prevent future falls and fractures. Depending on you and your specific osteoporosis situation, we will tailor chiropractic care to you and we’ll develop a plan on moving forward. For example, a post-menopausal woman who has osteoporosis may get a plan that calls for spinal manipulation, dietary supplements like calcium and vitamin D, and bone building exercises.
Of course, you should always let your doctor know before you see a chiropractor for your osteoporosis. There may be certain osteoporosis-related issues that prevent you from receiving specific manipulations or performing specific exercises. At your initial visit with us, we’ll do a physical exam, possibly order tests like x-rays, and ask you questions about your medical history. From there, we’ll develop a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically for you that may incorporate one or more chiropractic treatments.
If your osteoporosis is advanced, we will use a more gentle approach, like soft tissue techniques, to address and help your pain, as well as other symptoms. Call us today!
