What Is Osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is a debilitating, preventable disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist. Remember, Osteoporosis is preventable. Building strong bones during childhood and adolescence can be the best defense against developing osteoporosis later.
Bones Most Commonly Involved in Fractures
Any bone can be affected, but of special concern are fractures of the hip, spine, wrist and ribs. Hip Fractures usually require hospitalization and major surgery. They may impair a person's ability to walk unassisted and may cause prolonged or permanent disability or even death. Spinal or Vertebral Fractures also have serious consequences, including loss of height, severe back pain, and deformity. Wrist Fractures commonly occur in a fall as the hand is used to support the body' weight.
Who Gets Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans, or 55 percent of the people 50 years of age and older. In the U.S., 10 million individuals are estimated to already have the disease and almost 34 million more are estimated to have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. Of the 10 million Americas believed to have osteoporosis, 8 million are women and 2 million are men.
Symptoms of Osteoporosis:
Osteoporosis is often called a "silent disease" because bone loss occurs without symptoms. People may not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump or fall causes a fracture or a vertebra to collapse. Collapsed vertebrae may initially be felt or seen in the form of severe back pain, loss of height, or spinal deformities such as kyphosis or stooped posture.

Risk Factors of Osteoporosis:
Certain people are more likely to develop osteoporosis than others. Factors that increase the likelihood of developing osteoporosis and fractures are called "risk factors." These risk factors include:
-
Personal history of fracture after age 50
-
Current low bone mas
-
Being thin and/or having a small frame
-
Advanced age
-
A family history of osteoporosis
-
Estrogen deficiency as a result of menopause, especially early or surgically induced
-
Abnormal absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
-
Anorexia nervosa
-
Low lifetime calcium intake
-
Vitamin D deficiency
-
Use of certain medications (corticosteroids, chemotherapy, anticonvulsants and others)
-
Presence of certain chronic medical conditions
-
Low testosterone levels in men
-
An inactive lifestyle
-
Current cigarette smoking
-
Excessive use of alcohol
-
Being Caucasian or Asian, although African Americans and Hispanic Americans are at significant risk as well
Women can lose up to 20 percent of their bone mass in the five to seven years following menopause, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis.One in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in her/his remaining lifetime.
Osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually.

Prevention and Management of Osteoporosis
Although there is no cure for osteoporosis, there are steps you can take to prevent it or to slow or stop its progress. The following recommendations are very helpful:
-
Get your daily recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin D
-
Engage in regular weight-bearing exercise
-
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol
-
Talk to your healthcare provider about bone health
-
Have a bone density test and take treatment when appropriate.
OSTEOPOROSIS often indicates HORMONE IMBALANCE in Women and Men over 50.
-
During Perimenopause and Menopause changes, women experience decrease in production of Estrogen and other hormones. This causes changes in bone structure and strength leading to bone weakness and eventual fractures.
-
As men age, their testosterone production decreases. This can lead to bone changes and weakness leading eventually to fractures.
Fortunately, these hormones can be replaced Naturally, using BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES.

How do I Proceed?
Step 1: Take the Hormone Profile Survey
Step 2: Get Tested.
Based on the information in your profile you will be advised what hormones need to be tested. You wil be sent the appropriate test kit. If you are interested in Pellet BHRT where the hormones are painlessly inserted under the skin for 4-6 months of symptoms relief, you will require a blood test. If you are interested in Traditional BHRT, which requires taking the hormones daily, you will need a saliva test.
Step 3: Consultation With Dr. Camille Semple-Daly(Sotto Pelle Certified Physician)
When we receive your test results, (approximately 2 weeks after the lab receives your sample), you will be contacted to arrange a consultation with the doctor. For your convenience, this may take the form of an office visit or by telephone. For those interested in Pellet Therapy, consultations can only be done in my office, for implation of the hormone pellets.
Step 4: Management Plan.
In the case of Traditional BHRT, a prescription will be sent to our compounding pharmacist, (or a compounding pharmacy of your choice), based on the results of your consultation, symptoms and salivary test. Our bioidentical hormone restoration plan is individualized specifically for you. Our therapy is never mass produced. One size does not fit all.
Step 5: Continued Plan of Care
At the time of your consultation a detailed care plan will be provided. This will be based on the consultation with the physician, your symptoms and test results. All care plans are based on your own needs, and include an evaluation of Nutrition, Exercise and Lifestyle choices.
