Are Your Bones Healthy?
Osteoporosis is a silent condition that makes your bones weak and easy to break—and many people don’t know they have it until a fracture happens.
At the Metabolic Clinic, we help to check and improve bone health 💪

What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak, brittle, and more likely to fracture. It happens when bone density decreases and the body can’t rebuild bone as quickly as it breaks it down.
Why It Matters:
People with osteoporosis are at higher risk of fractures — especially in the hip, spine, and wrist — even from minor falls or injuries.
Common Warning Signs
Sudden or frequent fractures
Loss of height or a curved spine
Back pain
Bones that break easily with minor falls
Noticing These Signs?
Don’t wait for a fracture to find out you have osteoporosis.
Early detection can protect your independence, mobility, and long-term health.
Why see an endocrinologist for osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis isn’t just about weak bones — it’s often linked to hormonal changes, nutrient deficiencies, and other underlying health issues.
An endocrinologist specialises in finding and treating these root causes. They can:
- Identify hormonal or medical conditions affecting bone strength
- Personalise treatment to slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk
- Arrange bone-building (anabolic) therapy for severe cases
- Monitor your progress with scans and blood tests
Endocrinologists focus on improving osteoporosis — helping you protect your bones before problems arise.
Why Early Detection Matters?
Early detection can help you:
- Prevent severe fractures in the hip, spine, or wrist
- Avoid long recovery times and loss of mobility
- Start treatment early to slow or reverse bone loss
- Protect your long-term independence and quality of life
Who is at risk of Osteoporosis?
You may be at higher risk if you:
- Are over age 50
- Are postmenopausal (drop in estrogen accelerates bone loss)
- Have low testosterone levels
- Have a family history of osteoporosis or fractures
- Take long-term steroids, thyroid medication, or anti-seizure drugs
- Have low calcium or vitamin D intake
- Smoke or consume excessive alcohol
- Lead a sedentary lifestyle or are underweight
- Have medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders, or digestive malabsorption issues
At Risk? Don’t Wait for a Fracture.
Osteoporosis can develop silently, but the consequences are severe.
If you’re in a high-risk group, early screening is your best defence.
How is Osteoporosis diagnosed?
Osteoporosis can be silent, but it’s detectable with the proper tests before fractures occur. At our clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to assessing your bone health.
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Scan
Also known as a DEXA scan, this is the gold standard for detecting bone loss.
- Fast, painless, and non-invasive
- Measures bone strength in key areas like the hip and spine
- Provides a T-score to assess your fracture risk
FRAX Risk Assessment Tool
A clinically validated tool that estimates your 10-year risk of major fractures based on age, weight, lifestyle, and medical history.
Blood Tests
We test for underlying conditions that may affect bone health, including:
- Calcium & vitamin D deficiency
- Thyroid or hormonal imbalances
- Inflammation or metabolic disorders
X-rays
Used to detect existing fractures, spinal compression, or bone thinning — even before symptoms appear.
