Trusted Osteoporosis Specialists for Effective Bone Health Management

Our osteoporosis specialists are dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of osteoporosis and related bone conditions. Our team includes experienced endocrinologists, rheumatologists, and internists with specialized training in bone health, ensuring that you receive expert care tailored to your individual needs.

When you visit Catalyst Medical Group for osteoporosis care, our specialists will begin by thoroughly assessing your risk factors—such as age, gender, family history, lifestyle habits, and any underlying medical conditions that could impact your bone health. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools, including bone mineral density (DEXA) scans and laboratory tests, to evaluate calcium and vitamin D levels, as well as other important markers of bone metabolism.

If osteoporosis is diagnosed, our providers will develop a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for you. This may include prescribing medications proven to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures, such as bisphosphonates or newer biologic therapies. We also offer guidance on dietary choices to ensure you’re getting enough calcium and vitamin D, and recommend safe, effective exercises to help maintain or improve your bone density.

At Catalyst Medical Group, we believe in a holistic approach to bone health. Our specialists provide education on fall prevention strategies, which are essential for minimizing the risk of fractures. We work closely with a network of physical therapists, nutritionists, and other healthcare professionals to support every aspect of your bone health journey.

At Catalyst Medical Group, we understand that osteoporosis—a condition marked by weakened bones and increased fracture risk—requires a comprehensive and individualized approach. Our primary goals are to strengthen your bones, prevent further bone loss, and reduce your risk of fractures, all while supporting your overall health and well-being.

●Personalized Lifestyle and Nutrition Support
Our team places a strong emphasis on lifestyle interventions as a cornerstone of osteoporosis management. We work with you to develop a personalized exercise plan that includes weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening activities, both of which are essential for maintaining bone density and improving balance. We also provide guidance on minimizing risk factors such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, both of which can accelerate bone loss.

Nutrition is another key aspect of bone health. Our providers will help you assess your dietary intake to ensure you’re getting adequate calcium and vitamin D, whether through foods like dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods, or with supplements when needed.

●Advanced Medication Management
For patients who require additional support, Catalyst Medical Group offers the latest evidence-based medical treatments for osteoporosis. Our providers are experienced in prescribing bisphosphonates (such as alendronate and risedronate) to slow bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures. We also offer alternative therapies, including denosumab, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like raloxifene, and, when appropriate, hormone-related therapies for postmenopausal women. For severe osteoporosis or patients who cannot tolerate other medications, we can discuss anabolic agents such as teriparatide or abaloparatide, which promote new bone growth.

●Ongoing Monitoring and Collaborative Care
We believe that effective osteoporosis care doesn’t end with the initial treatment plan. We provide regular bone density monitoring and thorough assessments for risk factors, ensuring your management plan evolves with your needs. Our providers also review any underlying conditions or medications that may contribute to bone loss and adjust your care as necessary.

By working closely with our experienced healthcare team, you can be confident that your osteoporosis treatment is tailored to your unique needs and updated as your health changes. If you have concerns about bone health or risk of osteoporosis, schedule an appointment with Catalyst Medical Group today to discuss your options and start building stronger bones for the future.

Our osteoporosis specialists play a vital role in protecting and improving your bone health. When you visit our clinic, our team provides expert evaluation, advanced diagnostic tools, and personalized treatment strategies designed for your unique needs.

During your initial consultation at Catalyst Medical Group, our specialists will thoroughly assess your risk factors for osteoporosis, including age, family history, previous fractures, medications, and lifestyle habits. We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, such as bone mineral density (BMD) testing and DEXA scans, right here in our practice to accurately measure your bone strength and detect any early signs of bone loss.

If osteoporosis is diagnosed, our providers will collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual health profile. This may include prescribing the latest medications to slow bone loss or promote bone growth. We also offer comprehensive guidance on nutrition, ensuring you receive essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D through your diet or supplements.

Our team believes in a holistic approach to bone health. In addition to medication management, we help you establish a safe and effective exercise routine to strengthen your bones and enhance your balance, reducing your risk for falls and fractures. Our specialists also provide valuable education on lifestyle changes—such as quitting smoking or moderating alcohol use—that can significantly benefit your bone health.

How often you should visit Catalyst Medical Group for check-ups depends on several factors, including your age, overall health, and any existing medical conditions. In general, healthy adults without chronic illnesses benefit from an annual wellness visit. These yearly appointments allow Dr. Padmini Bhadriraju, MD, to monitor your health, discuss any new symptoms, and update your preventive care, including vaccinations and recommended screenings.

If you have ongoing health concerns, take regular medications, or have risk factors for certain conditions, Dr. Padmini may recommend more frequent visits—such as every three to six months—to help manage and monitor your health. She will tailor your visit schedule based on your personal medical history and needs.

It’s important to follow the specific recommendations of our care team. If you notice any new or concerning symptoms between scheduled appointments, contact our office promptly for further guidance. Regular check-ups are essential for early detection and effective management of health conditions, so maintaining a schedule that fits your needs is vital for your long-term well-being.
