Johns Hopkins Health Alerts Back Pain and Osteoporosis Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones. About 10 million Americans (8 million women and 2 million men) already have osteoporosis, and 34 million more are at increased risk because of low bone mass—a condition called osteopenia.

Like back pain, osteoporosis can be disabling. But unlike back pain, osteoporosis, which is caused by a reduction in bone mass, is "silent," with no symptoms until fractures occur. We review the causes and diagnostic techniques, the preventive steps that can spare you significant pain and disability, and the very latest osteoporosis treatment options.

    A lifetime of walking, standing, lifting, and twisting causes significant low back pain in 80% of all adults. And as our population continues to age, osteoporosis becomes an increasingly widespread problem. In the Back Pain and Osteoporosis White Paper, Johns Hopkins experts discuss sprains, strains, spasms, disk herniation, degenerative changes in the disks and spine, spinal stenosis, and osteoporosis, a common cause of hip and spine fractures. You will explore causes of back pain, learn about preventive steps and pain relief, and examine treatments that include the latest drug and surgical options. 96 pages.
