Metabolic bone diseases are a group of conditions that affect the strength and structure of your bones, leading to conditions such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and Paget’s disease. At Aiswariyam Diabetic Centre, Dr. T R Gnanasambandam offers specialized care to help patients manage and prevent the progression of these conditions, ensuring better bone health and an improved quality of life.
What Are Metabolic Bone Diseases?
Metabolic bone diseases occur when there is an imbalance in the process of bone formation and breakdown. This imbalance can lead to weakened bones, making them more prone to fractures, pain, and deformities. Common conditions include:
- Osteoporosis: A condition where bones become brittle and fragile due to a decrease in bone density.
- Osteomalacia: Softening of the bones due to vitamin D deficiency, leading to bone pain and muscle weakness.
- Paget’s Disease: Abnormal bone growth that can lead to bone deformities and pain.
Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment
Dr. Gnanasambandam uses advanced diagnostic tools to assess your bone health. This may include blood tests, bone density scans, and X-rays to determine the extent of the condition. Based on the diagnosis, he provides personalized treatment plans that may include:
- Medications: Such as bisphosphonates, calcium supplements, and Vitamin D therapy to strengthen bones.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Diet recommendations rich in calcium and vitamin D, along with exercise regimens to improve bone density.
- Monitoring and Follow-ups: Regular check-ups to ensure your bone health is on track and to prevent further complications.
