Osteoporosis and Individividualized Treatment with Lani Simpson, DC

The definition of osteoporosis is related to bone density, not quality. A bone density test that shows low bone density does not mean they are losing bone now; maybe they never gained it. Many factors are important to assess before concluding that drugs are needed. Vitamin D levels, exercise, diet, sleep, and stress are all important factors in the development of osteoporosis.
