Symptoms

Common Symptoms of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a silent yet devastating disease that often goes undetected until a fracture occurs. Understanding the subtle symptoms of osteoporosis can help in early detection and prevention of this debilitating condition.

One of the most common signs is back pain, caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra. You might also notice a loss of height over time or a stooped posture. Some patients experience bone fractures that occur much more easily than expected.

Symptom Variability

Osteoporosis symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. While some may not experience any visible symptoms, others may encounter bone pain or sudden, severe back pain. Early indications like receding gums, weakened grip strength, or brittle, broken nails can often go unnoticed.

Warning Signs for Professional Help

If you’ve had a bone fracture from a minor fall or even from an intense sneeze or cough, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional. Experiencing sudden, sharp back pain, noticeable loss of height, or drastic posture changes demands immediate medical attention.

    Transformative Treatments for Osteoporosis

    Osteoporosis, a condition that weakens your bones and makes them brittle, can relentlessly rob you of your mobility and quality of life. However, we at Push Pounds Sports Medicine Centre in Toronto are armed with a plethora of effective treatments to help manage this condition and help you reclaim your active self.

    Phase 1: Interventional Approaches

    To alleviate pain and stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities, doctors often recommend Viscosupplementation & Hyaluronic Acid Injection. This therapy can provide cushioning and lubrication to the joints, reducing pain and enhancing mobility. The Regenerative Medicine approach takes it a step further, using the body’s own cells to help heal damaged tissues and reinforce weak bones.

    Orthopaedic Surgery and Interventional Radiology are also viable options for those with advanced osteoporosis, and our specialized medical team is well-equipped to handle these intricate procedures.

    Phase 2: Advanced Injections

    Here at Push Pounds, we also employ the groundbreaking DUROLANE, SYNVISC, NSTRIDE and PRP INJECTIONS. These injections, each with its own unique properties, help in pain reduction while also promoting bone strength.

    Phase 3: Rehabilitation Therapies

    Post-treatment, our expert physiotherapists then come into the picture, employing therapeutic exercises and modalities to further control symptoms and accelerate healing. Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, RMT Massage, Massage Therapy and Acupuncture are potent weapons in our arsenal.

    Managing osteoporosis is not a battle you fight alone, and with our comprehensive treatment plan, we are committed to helping you navigate this journey towards improved bone health.

    I had an injury in my disc that was life altering. I had pain 24/7 and I could no longer live my normal life. I couldn’t sit at work, no more sports, gym, exercise and I gained a lot of weight. I went to many physio sessions, chiro’s, RMT, cold bats, etc at other clinics, but I was still in pain. I decided that I needed a real plan to get control over my life. I asked around and I was referred to Studio Pushpounds. My friends indicated NBA players, EPL, NHL players fly and/or come here for treatment when they are in Toronto. If the best of the world trusts this clinic, then it would surely be good enough for me. My doctor was Dr. Darrin Germann. Dr. German is my hero. He spent time to properly diagnose my issue and create a gameplan that was altered after every session based on progression. Every time I entered his room, he was reviewing our notes, and like a mad genius planning out that day’s sessions. He knows each case personally, and I could tell he was invested in my health. And in turn, I put in my 100% efforts to what he wanted me to do not just in the clinic, but outside of it. I’m now back in the gym, swimming, and pain free. If you are dedicated to fixing your problems, I highly recommend you see Dr. Germann. Dr. Germanns character is class, and he is very professional. The man is a stud and a great inspiration and a role model you need when going through injuries. He does what he preaches, and it shows in his own physique and lifestyle in terms of diet and workouts. He is going to do big things in his field and if you are lucky enough to see him for your treatment, he is the miracle you have been looking for. Thank you, Doc., You already know how much my life quality has changed.

    The Push Pounds Sports Medicine Team is incredible! We researched four different clinics before choosing Push Pounds and deciding on Josh Irwanto as the main physiotherapist for our teen’s ACL recovery. The attention and level of care from the start of our recovery program was remarkable. Josh and Peter (second physiotherapist team member) took the time to explain the recovery plan while demonstrating compassion and understanding along the complete process. Our child felt motivated, supported and driven to work hard. Our family has immense gratitude towards the Push Pounds team and their knowledge + professionalism towards their patients recovery goals. Our teen is back playing on the field healthier and stronger than ever. A million thanks to Josh and his entire team!

    If you’re recovering from an injury of ANY kind, look no further, Push Pounds/Studio Athletica is the ONLY place to go. After a nasty proximal humerus fracture, I was at a loss when it came time to start rehab. After endless searching and coming across Studio Athletica online, I found Physiotherapist Josh and decided to start my healing journey. Josh (alongside every single one of the support staff) has been an integral part of my healing not only physically, but mentally as well. You don’t really know the effects of a bad injury has on your entire wellbeing until it happens to you. And at 35 and never having broken a bone, I thought I was in the clear. ;) Josh’s dedication to my progress each week was what kept my spirits up. He knew when to push me and when not to and provided endless encouragement along the way. Physiotherapy included a combination of treatments on the table as well as mobility and strengthening in the gym. After months of this combo and being diligent about my at-home exercises, I’m confident in saying that I have my arm/shoulder back and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I must add.. during the time I was rehabilitating my shoulder, I had some foot injuries along the way. After an assessment from Josh during an appointment, he said that Chiropractor Dr. Germann was the person I should see. Everything that I said about Josh above can be echoed about Dr. G. Another gem of a human and incredibly knowledgeable about the craft of healing. Safe to say a have two working feet and back to walking many, many km’s a day. Long story short, if you want a dedicated team, top of the line treatment options, and a gym with all the equipment you could ever need, Push Pounds/ Studio Athletica is the place for you.

    Late last year I developed achilles pain that was impacting my ability to play high-level sports so I was referred to Dr. Darrin Germann at Push Pounds/Studio Athletica. I saw Dr. Darrin weekly and the sessions were split between gym exercises (the facility is brand-new and has a fully equipped gym with turf) and treatments which allowed for a more holistic approach to my recovery. Dr. Darrin always had a game-plan ready for the day based on how I was feeling that week and adjusted as needed. He got me back on my feet playing on the national team for Ultimate frisbee within 4 months! The entire team is welcoming, friendly and well-organized. I can’t recommend it enough!
