Hyperparathyroidism and Osteoporosis Management
At Aura Endocrine and Diabetes, we specialize in treating hyperparathyroidism and osteoporosis, focusing on managing calcium and bone metabolism disorders. Our individualized approach ensures that each patient receives a tailored treatment plan to effectively manage and improve bone health.
The Impact of Proper Calcium and Bone Health Management
Stronger Bones
Effective treatment of osteoporosis helps increase bone density, reducing the risk of fractures and improving overall bone strength.
Balanced Calcium Levels
By timely diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism and its treatment, we help restore proper calcium balance, preventing complications like kidney stones, bone weakness, and fatigue.
Improved Quality of Life
Proper management of osteoporosis and hyperparathyroidism alleviates symptoms such as bone pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness, leading to enhanced mobility and day-to-day functioning.
What is Hyperparathyroidism and How Does It Affect My Health?
- Hyperparathyroidism: This occurs when one or more of the parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormone, leading to elevated calcium levels in the blood. It can cause symptoms like fatigue, recurrent kidney stones, and weakened bones leading to fractures.
At Aura, we provide comprehensive care to manage your calcium levels and prevent long-term complications.
How is Osteoporosis Diagnosed and Treated?
- Osteoporosis: It’s a condition where bones become brittle and weak due to a loss of bone density. Timely management is necessary for this condition to prevent fractures and morbidity. Your provider is well trained in reading bone density tests, and we will also run tests to see if there is a secondary cause of osteoporosis to get the patient timely treatment with a tailored approach.
What Lifestyle Changes Can Help with Bone Health?
- Lifestyle Changes: Improving calcium intake, vitamin D supplementation, regular weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol can strengthen bones. At Aura, we’ll help create a plan tailored to your needs for optimal bone health.
