Osteopenia: Your Warning Sign to Take Bone Health Seriously

Osteopenia isn’t just a medical term—it’s your body’s early warning signal. It means your bones are weaker than normal but not yet weak enough to be classified as osteoporosis. At Eastside Longevity Clinic, we take osteopenia seriously because it’s often the tipping point between prevention and progression.

What is Osteopenia?

Osteopenia refers to low bone mineral density (BMD). It doesn’t usually cause symptoms, which is why it’s often missed—until a fracture occurs. The condition can affect both men and women, especially after age 50.

Why It Matters

Without intervention, osteopenia can advance to osteoporosis, significantly increasing your risk of fractures in the spine, hips, or wrists. These injuries often lead to long-term disability and reduced independence.

How We Help at Eastside Longevity

Dr. Frank Marinkovich and our team use advanced diagnostic tools, including DEXA scans and metabolic evaluations, to assess your bone strength. Our personalized care plans may include:

• Nutritional guidance to support bone density

• Weight-bearing and resistance exercises

• Hormonal evaluation and optimization

• Targeted supplements or medications when necessary

We also address fall prevention and coordination through physical rehab and strength training.

Don’t wait for a fracture to take action.
