Poor men! You get ignored when it comes to osteoporosis. You may have a three times lower chance of getting osteoporosis than women, but you do get osteoporosis. Indeed, men frequently suffer more with resulting osteoporotic fractures than women. So, men, Moriarty Chiropractic is here to take care of you. Your Nashua chiropractor will check on your osteoporosis risk factors and care for you if you have signs of osteoporosis. We don’t want you to agonize with osteoporotic fractures needlessly!

Overlooked

Men are often overlooked when it comes to osteoporosis risk as well as osteoporosis related quality of life factors. 38% of men (as opposed to 45% of women) who get hip or other major fractures likely experienced other minor fractures beforehand. Plus, the risk of fractures – minor and severe - increases with age. This fact calls on physicians like your Nashua chiropractor at Moriarty Chiropractic to offer careful osteoporosis management to reduce the risk as much as possible. (1)

Quality of Life

Specific health related quality of life (HRQOL) characteristics of male patients with osteoporosis can often be overlooked. Clinicians like your Nashua chiropractor are urged to think about mental health referral especially for osteoporotic male patients having experienced two or more fractures. Osteoporotic men have more pain in activities of daily living and experience a lower quality of life. (2) Moriarty Chiropractic doesn’t want that. We want our osteoporotic men to enjoy their lives to the fullest…and they can!

Nutrition

Moriarty Chiropractic will provide you some nutritional options to cope with your osteoporosis, likely Vitamin D, calcium citrate and others.

Exercise

Osteoporotic men benefit from keeping their muscles strong and active. Moriarty Chiropractic has some simple exercises to start with if you haven’t been very active lately. We would be pleased to evaluate your current exercise routine to be sure it’s adequate (and not too strenuous either!) for osteoporosis prevention.

Treatment

Moriarty Chiropractic’s chiropractic treatment is gentle and safe. With or without osteoporosis risk or fracture, you will feel great after your Nashua chiropractor adjusts your spine with Cox Technic. You’ll likely comment like so many of our Nashua chiropractic patients do, “Thanks!

So, men, don’t look at your Nashua chiropractic physician funny when the topic of osteoporosis comes up.
