Osteoporosis Screening & Treatment in Elkhart, IN
Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones become weak, thin, and fragile — making them much more likely to break. It’s often called the “silent disease” because you usually don’t notice it until a fracture happens. But with early screening and personalized treatment, you can protect your independence and stay active for years to come.
Why Osteoporosis Screening Matters
- Osteoporosis affects an estimated 200+ million people worldwide.
- While about 1 in 3 women over age 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture, 1 in 5 men over 50 will too.
- Often called a "silent disease" because bone loss occurs without symptoms until a fracture happens.
- Osteoporotic fractures, especially hip and spine, can lead to chronic pain, disability, loss of independence, and even increased mortality.
Early detection and treatment can prevent fractures and protect your long-term health.
Late-Stage Osteoporosis Symptoms
- Gradual loss of height
- Stooped or hunched posture
- Back pain from small spinal fractures
- Bones that break more easily than expected
Risk Factors for Osteporosis
- Female, especially post-menopause
- Age 50+
- Family history of osteoporosis
- Low body weight or small frame
- Poor nutrition or low vitamin D/calcium intake
- Sedentary lifestyle, smoking, or heavy alcohol use
- Long-term steroid use or hormone imbalances
Osteoporosis Screening Options
At our clinic, we offer advanced screening tools to detect osteoporosis early and understand what’s really happening with your bone health:
Achilles EXPII Bone Ultrasound
- Quick, comfortable, and radiation-free heel scan that measures bone strength in just minutes.
X-Rays
- X-rays can reveal bone thinning, fractures, or structural changes caused by osteoporosis, helping us assess bone health alongside other screening tools.
Hair Mineral Analysis
- Reveals long-term mineral status and detects deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, zinc, and other nutrients essential for bone health.
Revive Lab Work
- Evaluates gut health and nutrient absorption — ensuring your body is actually using the vitamins and minerals needed to maintain strong bones.
You can’t feel osteoporosis starting — but you can screen early and take action.
Osteoporosis Treatment Options
Once we know your risk, we create a personalized treatment plan to strengthen your bones, restore balance, and protect your future health:
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
- Restores declining estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone levels that are vital for bone strength, helping slow bone loss, improve density, and reduce fracture risk while supporting overall wellness.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
- Boosts oxygen delivery to bones, stimulates bone cell growth, reduces inflammation, and supports repair — improving bone density and healing.
Bone Builder IV
- A nourishing blend of magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and a higher dose of calcium to strengthen bones, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness.
Vitamin D + K2 for Calcium Support
- Vitamin D and K2 work together to enhance calcium absorption and direct it into the bones for maximum strength and density.
Osteoporosis FAQs
What is osteoporosis screening, and how does it work?
Osteoporosis screening is a simple, non-invasive way to measure bone strength and fracture risk. At our clinic, we use the Achilles EXPII bone ultrasound, which takes just a few minutes and uses sound waves (not radiation) to assess bone density in the heel.
Who should consider getting screened for osteoporosis?
Women over age 50, especially those who are post-menopausal, are at the highest risk. Screening is also recommended if you have a family history of osteoporosis, low body weight, poor nutrition, or other risk factors such as smoking, long-term steroid use, or hormone imbalance.
What symptoms should I watch for?
Osteoporosis often has no symptoms until a fracture occurs. Some warning signs include loss of height, stooped posture, back pain, or bones that break more easily than expected. Because it’s usually “silent,” early screening is the best way to detect it.
What treatment options are available if I’m at risk or already have osteoporosis?
We create a personalized plan that may include Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Bone Builder IV nutrient infusion, Vitamin D + K2 with Calcium support, and lifestyle recommendations to strengthen your bones and reduce fracture risk.
How is your approach different from standard osteoporosis care?
Unlike standard care that often focuses only on medication, we combine advanced testing with a functional medicine approach — addressing nutrient absorption, hormone balance, oxygen delivery, and bone health from multiple angles. This means we don’t just manage osteoporosis, we work to restore and protect bone strength long-term.
Take the First Step Toward Stronger Bones
Don’t wait until a fracture changes your life. Osteoporosis screening is simple, safe, and effective — and treatment can help you stay strong, independent, and active.
