What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue which can lead to increased risk of fracture due to fragility and weakness of the bone.
It can also be defined as decreased bone mass as well as decreased bone strength.
The most common fractures associated with osteoporosis are in the hip, spine, wrist, and shoulder and ribs. Which can occur with minor falls from standing height, bending and even coughing.

Family history of osteoporosis
Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteoporosis
Our osteoporosis specialists in Nairobi, Kenya at NSOC provides diagnostic tests for bone strength, muscle density and body composition.
We rely on the most advanced diagnostic testing including DEXA scans to analyze bone density. Other tests include quantitative ultrasonography and MRI.
After the evaluation, we develop a personalized plan to preserve bone density and restore what has been lost, if possible. This may include medication, such as Calcium and Vitamin D supplements to help provide building blocks for healthy bone production.
Bone density monitoring or physical therapy can also be used to strengthen bones and improve stability.
