Let’s talk about…

OSTEOPOROSIS 🦴

Osteoporosis is defined as low bone mineral density caused by altered bone microstructure, predisposing an individual to low energy/ impact fragility fractures.

In young individuals, bone formation exceeds resorption; however, as we age, this process begins to slow. As bone resorption begins to exceed formation, bones become more porous or fragile, leading to osteoporosis.

For women, the reduction in oestrogen levels at menopause serves as the primary risk for developing osteoporosis.

Signs and symptoms of osteoporosis may include:

- Pain, especially in the lower back.
- Increased susceptibility to fracture, especially low energy fracture (no major force).
- Loss of height and/ or stooped posture.
- Shortness of breath.
- Brittle fingernails.
- Increased risk of oral health problems, especially tooth loss.

Osteoporosis is often diagnosed via a DEXA scan.

By eating calcium rich foods, getting enough vitamin D, not smoking, limiting alcohol consumption and partaking in regular strength-based training we can reduce one’s risk of developing osteoporosis.

If unsuccessful, there are several ways in which to manage osteoporosis. By removing loose rugs, installing hand rails and partaking in activities that promote balance and coordination, such as Tai Chi, Pilates and yoga, we can reduce the risk of falls-related fracture.

Medications and hormone-based therapies may be used to increase bone density.

Weight-bearing activities are also shown to increase bone density.

Osteopaths seek to enhance mobility and alleviate muscle tension through the use of hands on treatment, taking into careful consideration the fragility of osteoporotic bones. Osteopaths are also trained to provide tailored exercise recommendations/ programs and educate on ways in which to reduce the risk of falls, improve posture and optimise mechanics.

In Australia, 58 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each day. It’s important to know and check your breasts every month - it could save your life.

Using the pads of your three middle fingers make small circles and vary the pressure while moving over the whole breast area, checking for:

- Lumps or thickening in or near your breast and armpit. Ensure you do this with your arms by your side, arms above your head, hands on your hips and then lying on your back.
- Changes to the size or shape of your breast and/ or ni**le.
- Changes to the skin of your breast and/ or ni**le.
- Any discharge (fluid).
- Unusual pain in the breast area.

Pay special attention to the area between the breast and the armpit, including the armpit itself.

BENEFITS OF MAGNESIUM:

Magnesium, being an electrolyte, is often lost in sweat. As a result, magnesium levels are more readily depleted in our warmer summer months.

In cases of deficiency it may be worthwhile considering supplementation, as magnesium may:

- Support muscle function and recovery.
- Promote bone health.
- Enhance energy production.
- Promote cardiovascular health.
- Assist in regulating blood sugar levels.
- Support immune health.
- Improve sleep quality.
- Alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
- Be used in the prevention and treatment of migraines.
