Osteopenia Treatment in Sharjah

Osteopenia Treatment in Sharjah

Bone Health Restoration with Expert Orthopedic & Physiotherapy Care at Al Resalah Specialty Clinic

Osteopenia is a condition where bone mineral density is lower than normal, serving as a warning sign before osteoporosis. If not addressed early, it can lead to bone weakness, increased risk of fractures, and reduced quality of life. At Al Resalah Specialty Clinic in Sharjah, we provide a comprehensive and personalized approach combining orthopedic expertise and advanced physiotherapy to manage and reverse osteopenia effectively.

🦴 What is Osteopenia?

Osteopenia refers to reduced bone density that falls between normal levels and osteoporosis. Although bones are not yet brittle, they are weaker than they should be and more prone to fractures if untreated.

🔍 Common Signs & Symptoms:

Often called the “silent bone loss,” osteopenia usually presents no obvious symptoms until a fracture occurs. However, patients may experience:

  • Decreased bone strength and density (visible on scans)

  • Generalized bone pain or aching after activity

  • Postural changes (especially in the spine)

  • Height loss over time

  • Increased risk of falls and fractures

⚠️ Causes & Risk Factors:

Osteopenia can affect both men and women, particularly after age 50. Risk factors include:

  • Aging and hormonal changes (especially postmenopausal women)

  • Vitamin D or calcium deficiency

  • Sedentary lifestyle

  • Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption

  • Long-term use of corticosteroids

  • Family history of osteoporosis

  • Low body weight or eating disorders
