Osteoporosis is known as the silent killer, as it often develops with no symptoms until a fracture. Sadly, 20-40% of those who experience a hip or spine fracture do not survive the following year. Living with Osteoporosis can make simple activities risky and leave you isolated for fear of falling.
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more prone to fractures. Early detection and treatment are essential to maintain bone health and prevent serious injuries. At Lone Star Orthopaedic and Spine Specialists, PLLC, our team of physicians and providers specializes in diagnosing, treating, and managing osteoporosis and other metabolic bone disorders. With convenient offices in Fort Worth, Burleson, and Mansfield, Texas, we provide comprehensive bone health services for patients at every stage of life.
Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose density and strength, increasing the risk of fractures even from minor falls or injuries. It often develops silently over years, with many patients unaware until a fracture occurs. Bone loss can affect the spine, hips, wrists, and other areas, leading to chronic pain, limited mobility, and decreased quality of life.
Osteoporosis is often preventable and manageable when detected early. Left untreated, it can result in debilitating fractures, chronic pain, and loss of independence. Comprehensive osteoporosis care is critical to maintaining bone strength, preventing fractures, and improving long-term quality of life.
Our physicians and providers evaluate each patient’s risk factors, including age, family history, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors, to develop personalized prevention and treatment plans. These plans may include dietary counseling, supplements, medications, exercise programs, and fall prevention strategies. Early intervention reduces the risk of fractures, improves mobility, and ensures patients maintain independence and overall health. Bone health is an ongoing process, and proactive care can significantly reduce long-term complications.
Our osteoporosis clinic utilizes advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatment plans to optimize bone health.
Prevention is the cornerstone of osteoporosis care. Adequate nutrition, including sufficient calcium and vitamin D, is essential for strong bones. Weight-bearing exercises such as walking, resistance training, and balance exercises help maintain bone density and improve muscle strength. Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake also protects bone health.
Routine bone density testing for at-risk individuals enables early detection and proactive treatment. Education on fall prevention and proper posture reduces the likelihood of fractures. By combining lifestyle strategies, medical management, and regular monitoring, patients can maintain healthy bones, improve mobility, and enjoy a more active and independent life.
With comprehensive osteoporosis management, patients can significantly reduce fracture risk, maintain mobility, and improve overall quality of life.

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become thin, brittle, and fragile, increasing the risk of fractures — especially in the hips, spine, and wrists. Over time, your bones lose density faster than your body can rebuild them, making them more prone to breaks even from minor falls or bumps.
Anyone can develop osteoporosis, but certain factors increase your risk, including:
Knowing your risk is the first step toward protecting your bones.
Early osteoporosis typically has no noticeable symptoms, which is why bone density screening (DEXA scan) is so important. However, for adults over 50 or those with risk factors.
We take the time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and risk factors. We can perform a bone density test to determine if your bones are becoming thin and brittle, which increases the risk of fractures.
