Osteopenia treatment in Cancún

Osteopenia is a decrease in bone density below normal levels, without reaching the degree of osteoporosis; it is a sign that the bone has lost part of its strength.

Common causes: It is usually related to age, hormonal changes, a diet low in calcium or vitamin D, and lack of physical activity, among other factors.

When to see a doctor? It is worth evaluating when there is a family history, risk factors, or fractures that occur easily.

Which specialist treats it? The general practitioner can guide the first check-up, and the dietitian, especially the clinical dietitian, supports the dietary aspects that influence bone health. A professional evaluation helps to understand the state of the bones and to care for them in time.
