What is Osteoporosis
A condition where bones become weaker and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures.
Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because it develops slowly and usually without symptoms. Over time, bones become thinner, weaker, and more fragile. The first sign may be a sudden fracture, sometimes from a minor fall, or even a simple movement like sneezing or bending.
This condition affects millions worldwide and is particularly common in post-menopausal women, though men are also at risk. The impact of osteoporosis can be life-changing. A hip fracture, for example, may require surgery, long recovery times, and can dramatically affect independence and quality of life.
The good news? With early diagnosis and effective treatments such as Zoledronate infusion, osteoporosis is highly manageable. At Pure Rheumatology London, our goal is to:
- Identify your personal risk
- Prevent fractures before they happen
- Strengthen your bones and protect your quality of life
What Are the Early Signs of Osteoporosis
Warning signs and risk factors that may indicate reduced bone strength.
Many people are unaware they are at risk of osteoporosis until a fracture occurs. You may benefit from a private osteoporosis assessment with a specialist if you have any of the following:
- A fracture after a minor fall or accident
- Noticeable loss of height or a curved spine
- Ongoing back pain without a clear cause
- A family history of osteoporosis or fragility fractures
- Early menopause or long-term use of steroid medication
- Medical conditions that affect hormone balance, such as thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or inflammatory bowel disease
Recognising these warning signs early is important. Arranging a consultation with a private osteoporosis specialist can provide clarity, reduce your risk of fractures, and help protect your long-term bone health.
Do not wait until a fracture happens. Book your appointment today.
How We Diagnose Osteoporosis
Specialist assessment including risk tools, DEXA scanning and blood tests to evaluate bone health.
At Pure Rheumatology London, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to osteoporosis diagnosis. Every patient receives a personalised assessment that may include:
1. Risk Assessment
We use internationally recognised tools such as FRAX and QFracture to calculate your 10-year risk of fractures. These models consider your age, sex, weight, medical history, lifestyle, and family background.
2. DEXA Scan
A DEXA scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is the gold standard for measuring bone density. It is painless, non-invasive, and quick. Your results are compared with healthy young adults (T-score) and with peers of your own age and sex (Z-score).
3. Blood Tests
We often recommend blood tests to check for vitamin D, calcium levels, hormone balance, thyroid function, kidney health, and other factors that can contribute to bone weakness.
4. Comprehensive Consultation
Dr Naveen Bhadauria will review your history, results, and any risk factors to provide a clear diagnosis and a tailored osteoporosis treatment plan. You will leave your consultation with a strategy designed for your long-term bone health.
Early and accurate diagnosis gives you the best chance to start treatment before fractures occur and to protect your independence and quality of life.
Osteoporosis Treatments at Pure Rheumatology London
Personalised treatments designed to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures.
Treatment for osteoporosis is never one size fits all. Your care plan will be designed specifically for you, based on your risk profile, age, medical history, and personal preferences. Options may include:
Intravenous Zoledronate (IV Infusion Therapy)
We are proud to offer Zoledronate IV infusion therapy at One Welbeck, a state-of-the-art private clinic in central London. This highly effective treatment requires only a once-yearly infusion to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures.
Oral and Injectable Medications
Bisphosphonates, taken as oral tablets or by injection, are commonly prescribed to protect bones and lower fracture risk.
Denosumab injections, given every six months, provide an alternative for patients who cannot tolerate bisphosphonates.
Other advanced options such as romosozumab or parathyroid hormone analogues may be recommended in selected cases.
Lifestyle and Supplements
Calcium and vitamin D supplementation ensures your bones have the essential nutrients they need. We also provide personalised advice on exercise, fall prevention, smoking cessation, and reducing alcohol intake.
Hormone and Testosterone Therapy
In some situations, hormonal support may be appropriate, particularly for post-menopausal women or men with low testosterone levels.
At Pure Rheumatology London, our mission is not only to prescribe medication but to provide a comprehensive, personalised osteoporosis treatment programme that supports your long-term bone health and fits your lifestyle and goals.
