Are You at Risk for Bone Loss? Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

Who’s Most at Risk?

Bone loss can affect both men and women, but certain factors increase your risk:

Age 50 or older
Postmenopausal women
Family history of osteoporosis
Low calcium or vitamin D intake
Sedentary lifestyle
Long-term use of steroids or certain medications
Smoking or excessive alcohol use

Early Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

Loss of height over time
Stooped posture
Bone fractures from minor falls
Back pain or tenderness
Weak grip strength

These subtle signs may point to osteopenia or osteoporosis, conditions that weaken bones and increase fracture risk.

Why True Recovery Requires Functional Assessment, Not Just Imaging

Medical imaging identifies structural findings, but recovery depends on how the body functions under real-world demands. Functional assessment provides critical insight that imaging alone cannot capture.

How Early Risk Identification Changes Long-Term Health Outcomes

Many chronic conditions develop silently for years before symptoms appear. Early risk identification allows clinicians to intervene sooner, reduce disease progression, and significantly improve long-term health outcomes.
