Age & Hormonal Change
Bone loss accelerates with age. The drop in estrogen after menopause is a major risk factor for women; men lose bone more gradually with falling testosterone.
Osteoporosis
Treatment in Gurgaon
OSSO's integrated approach to osteoporosis includes bone-density assessment, medication where indicated, targeted exercise and fall prevention, all under one roof.
Your orthopaedic doctor assesses your condition, including bone density testing, and builds a plan covering medication and targeted exercise. Ortho + Physio in one team. Conservative-first, surgery only if needed.

What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis literally means "porous bone." It is a condition in which bones gradually lose density and quality, becoming weak, brittle, and prone to fracture, sometimes from a minor fall or even everyday movements like bending or coughing.
Bone is a living tissue that is constantly broken down and rebuilt. With age, hormonal changes and certain risk factors, the body loses bone density faster than it can replace it. Osteoporosis most commonly affects:
The "Silent Disease"
Osteoporosis usually has no symptoms in its early stages, and many people only discover it after a fracture. That is why timely bone-density screening matters, especially for post-menopausal women and adults over 50. Early detection allows bone loss to be slowed and a first fracture to be prevented.
Osteopenia vs Osteoporosis
Osteopenia is lower-than-normal bone density that hasn't yet reached the osteoporosis threshold. Think of it as an early warning stage. Identification at this stage allows early action with lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise.
Spine (vertebrae)
Hip
Wrist and forearm
Shoulder
What Causes Osteoporosis?
Understanding your risk factors helps you and your specialist act early and protect your bones.
2
Nutrition & Vitamin D
Inadequate calcium and low vitamin D, both common in India, deprive bone of the raw materials needed to stay strong and dense.
3
Lifestyle Factors
A sedentary routine, smoking, excess alcohol and low body weight all speed up bone loss and reduce the bone's ability to rebuild.
4
Medical & Genetic
Family history, long-term steroid use, thyroid or hormonal disorders, and certain conditions can all lower bone density independently of age.
Symptoms of Osteoporosis
Early osteoporosis is often silent. As bone weakens, these signs may appear. Recognising them early helps you seek timely care.
Loss of Height Gradually getting shorter over time, often due to small compression fractures in the spine.
Stooped Posture A rounded upper back ("dowager's hump") as vertebrae weaken and collapse forward.
Persistent Back Pain New or ongoing back pain can signal a vertebral compression fracture.
Fractures from Minor Falls Breaking a bone from a low-impact fall or minor knock is a classic red flag.
Weak Grip / Frailty Reduced grip strength and general frailty can accompany declining bone and muscle health.
Receding Gums / Brittle Nails Bone loss in the jaw and changes in nail strength can be subtle early indicators.
How OSSO Diagnoses Osteoporosis
The standard test for osteoporosis is the DEXA bone-density scan, a quick, non-invasive scan that measures bone mineral density and gives a T-score:
Normal
T-score of −1.0 or higher
Osteopenia
T-score between −1.0 and −2.5
Osteoporosis
T-score of −2.5 or lower
Our diagnostic process
01
Clinical Assessment A detailed history of fractures, family risk, lifestyle, medication, and menopausal status by our orthopaedic specialist.
02
DEXA Bone-Density Scan Your orthopaedic doctor will advise a DEXA scan at a diagnostic lab to measure bone strength, confirm the diagnosis, and grade severity.
03
Blood & Vitamin Profiling Calcium, vitamin D, and relevant hormone and thyroid markers to look for treatable underlying causes.
04
Fracture-Risk (FRAX) & Posture Analysis We estimate your 10-year fracture risk and run OSSO's AI-assisted posture and balance assessment to guide a tailored plan.
When Should You See a Doctor?
A timely evaluation at OSSO can help identify weak bones early and guide you to appropriate treatment before a fracture occurs.
You are a woman over 50 or post-menopausal
You've broken a bone after a minor fall
You've lost height, or your posture is stooping
There is a family history of osteoporosis or hip fracture
You take long-term steroids or have a hormonal disorder
You have persistent, unexplained back pain
Osteoporosis Treatment at OSSO
A personalised, evidence-based plan that aims to strengthen bone, reduce fracture risk and keep you active and independent.
Medication & Bone Therapy
Bisphosphonates, denosumab or bone-building agents, chosen to match your bone density, risk and overall health to slow loss and rebuild strength.
Calcium & Vitamin D
Correcting deficiencies with the right supplementation and diet plan. Other treatments are built on this.
Physiotherapy & Exercise
Supervised weight-bearing and resistance training to stimulate bone formation, plus balance and posture work to keep you steady.
Fall-Prevention Programme
Gait training, home-safety guidance and strength work that targets falls, the cause of most osteoporotic fractures.
Lifestyle & Nutrition
Practical guidance on diet, smoking and alcohol, plus protein and bone-friendly nutrition to support long-term skeletal health.
Fracture Care & Surgery
When a fragility fracture occurs, our surgeons provide fixation and rehabilitation at partner hospitals, with a plan to help prevent the next one.
