Relieve Symptoms of Osteoporosis with Hormone Replacement Therapy

Most people expect bones to be hard, solid objects. The truth is that the interior of your skeleton is full of tiny honeycomb like holes. As men and women get older, those cavities become larger, creating a thin outer layer that is more fragile than before. Throughout all stages of life, bone tissue is broken down and used by the body for important minerals and rebuilt. Unfortunately, as time progresses, the bone tissue might be breaking down faster than the body can produce new cells, creating a reduction of density in certain areas. As bone density continues to diminish, the problem can become more pronounced and problematic and will eventually develop into what’s known as Osteoporosis. It’s estimated that over 10 million Americans suffer from some form of osteoporosis, and older men and women are certainly more susceptible than others. At the Harley Institute Institute, we help Atlanta, Georgia area residents restore their health and youthful vitality with a variety of therapies including hormone replacement therapy. 

Symptoms and Side Effects of Developing Osteoporosis

There are many conditions that can develop in people suffering from osteoporosis. Broken bones, hip replacement surgery, debilitating back pain, arthritis and spinal deformations are just a few of the medical issues related to a loss in bone density. Not only can these problems create pain and suffering for patients, but they also lead to a loss in enjoyment of life if symptoms continue to worsen. Over time, it can force once healthy men and women to use canes, walkers and even wheelchairs to move around. 

Estrogen’s Role in Bone Density

Once a woman begins to approach menopause, her body can suffer from a drastic dip in estrogen levels. It’s usually due to this significant decrease in estrogen production that causes menopauses notorious hot flashes and mood swings. However, your body’s bones also rely on estrogen for the promotion of osteoblasts that produce new bone cells. If the body doesn’t have enough estrogen, then the production of these cells will slow down, eventually leading to osteoporosis.
