Prophylaxis with homeopathy
Homeopathy also offers possibilities for the prevention of osteoporosis. Here, too, the focus is ultimately on providing the body with an adequate supply of calcium and preventing over-acidification. Overacidification, i.e. a too low pH value, supports the removal of calcium from the bones. A homeopathic osteoporosis prevention pursues accordingly the same goals as an osteoporosis-oriented nutrition, whereby however a conscious nutrition brings more positive side effects for the body with itself.
Measures for already manifested osteoporosis
If you already have manifest osteoporosis, there are several other methods besides those described above that can be used directly to reduce the risk of bone fracture. First and foremost, this includes caution! Particularly with older people, who are often affected by osteoporosis, any tripping hazards should be avoided.
They should also be advised to wear sturdy shoes and, if necessary, spectacle lenses of the right thickness to prevent falls. Sometimes special training can be provided to prevent falls and/or individualized physiotherapy. There are now even so-called hip protectors that stabilize the hip laterally and protect it from external force (for example, from falls), since this is where most fractures occur in osteoporosis. Abrupt movements should be avoided as far as possible and excessive physical strain should also be avoided if possible.
