Benefits of Osteoporosis Management
Osteoporosis is a condition that makes bones weak and leads to fractures. In younger years, the rate of bone formation exceeds the rate of bone breakdown, resulting in greater bone mass. As a person ages, the body renews bone mass at a slower rate than it declines. Don’t let bone pain interfere with your life. See what treatments we have available for you.

I can't say enough about this practice other than they are one of the most professional, knowledgeable and caring medical offices that I have ever dealt with. I give the highest praise to my PA, Dana Barber who has treated me for several years, always patient, and thorough. Her nurses Winfield and Porsha are absolutely wonderful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones and causes fractures. In youth, bone formation outpaces bone breakdown, leading to increased bone mass. As people age, the body loses bone mass faster than it creates it. Symptoms of osteoporosis include back pain, a decrease in height, bad posture, bone fractures, brittle fingernails, and receding gums.
Doctors administer both a bone density exam and a calcium blood test. During a DEXA scan, patients lie on a table while a movable arm scans their bones using low radiation doses. The usual areas of examination include the spine, hip, or forearm. By taking a blood sample, doctors can use the calcium blood test to assess the calcium levels in your blood.
If you’re experiencing symptoms that may indicate osteoporosis, contact us via phone or email for a consultation.
Monthly monitoring might be necessary for chronic conditions such as osteoporosis. If required, we can schedule follow-up meetings to accommodate your schedule. For osteoporosis concerns, Coastal Carolina Internal Medicine PA suggests scheduling an annual exam.
The timeline for addressing uncomfortable symptoms varies based on the patient and the severity of their symptoms. When caring for a patient with osteoporosis, we may focus on pain management and strategies to ease symptoms like poor posture or fractures. The time it takes for patients to see improvements in their osteoporosis symptoms will differ.
During your visit with our osteoporosis specialist in Jacksonville, we will address your symptoms and explore ways to improve your well-being and preserve your health. While we accept most insurance, determining the cost of treatment requires a comprehensive evaluation of your unique needs. Then we can have a discussion about the most effective strategies for your situation.
Making some adjustments to your lifestyle can help support your bones and prevent osteoporosis. Doctors recommend a diet full of leafy greens which supplies calcium to your bones. Doctors also encourage getting vitamin D, vitamin K, and boron from fruit and vegetable sources. A variety of weight-bearing exercises is also great for osteoporosis prevention.
