Osteopenia Symptoms & Treatment Options

As people age, many find their bones weakening and breaking easily due to osteopenia. About 34 million Americans have this disease, which is especially common in people over 50. Osteopenia is the loss of bone mineral density (BMD), which may mean you have insufficient minerals in your bones, causing them to lose strength.

Synovitis

Synovial joints have a sheath of tissue called a joint capsule that contains a synovium. The synovial membrane, or synovium, is the inner lining of a joint. This inner lining secretes synovial fluid, which cushions the joints during movement.

Hip Impingement

The ball-and-socket joint in the hips allows you to move, sit, stand, and exercise easily, but these tasks are often much more difficult if you feel pain in this area. Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), occurs when the ball and socket of the hip do not fit together properly.

Kyphosis

Kyphosis, sometimes known as a hunchback, is an excessive rounding of the upper spine. In older adults, kyphosis may develop due to weakness in the spinal bones causing them to compress or crack. Other types of kyphosis seen in children and teens may appear due to malformation of the spine or continual wedging of spinal bones over a period of time.

Dysplasia

Dysplasia is a medical condition in which the cells of tissue, bone, or organs develop abnormally. Dysplasia can develop anywhere in the body, at varying levels of severity, and can lead to other ailments involving precancerous cells or enlarged tissue.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an irregular sideways curvature of the spinal column and is most often diagnosed in early childhood and adolescence. The spine’s normal curvature occurs at the cervical, lumbar, and thoracic regions, positioning the head over the pelvis and working as a shock absorber to distribute pressure during movement.
