Cleveland Clinic’s Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Disease Center is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of patients with osteoporosis and other forms of diseases that affect bone. It is part of our Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases—one of the largest and best in the country. We are a leader in evaluating and treating patients with an array of conditions that affect the bones, muscles, joints, and skin, such as arthritis, vasculitis, lupus, gout, metabolic bone diseases, and other conditions.
Can The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic Provide Second Opinions on Osteoporosis?
Yes. The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic can provide second opinions on osteoporosis and treatment suggestions. Osteoporosis can affect anyone, but some risk factors include:
- Age – People over 50 are at a higher risk, possibly due to the body absorbing more of the minerals needed for strong bones.
- Being assigned female at birth – Women have a higher risk of osteoporosis due to hormonal changes during menopause.
- Certain diseases – Some diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and celiac disease, can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis.
- Medications – Certain medications, such as steroids or hormonal therapies used to treat cancer, can weaken bones.
Osteoporosis can be disruptive, causing broken bones, pain, and changes in physical appearance. An expertly matched specialist can provide a thorough review of your case and offer personalized recommendations for treatment options.
