Managing Osteoporosis - Prevention, Treatment, and Lifestyle with Divergence Physical Therapy
A Message From Osteoporosis Expert, Divergence Physical Therapy & Wellness:
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then rest assured, You Are In The Right Place!
- Are You Concerned About Osteoporosis Symptoms That Persist Despite Efforts to Improve Them?
- Have You Been Disappointed by the Ineffectiveness of Chiropractic or Massage Therapy?
- Are You Struggling to Maintain an Active Lifestyle and Enjoy Your Favorite Activities?
- Are You Searching for Lasting Solutions to Safely Engage in Physical Activities Without Worrying About Osteoporosis?"
Many individuals endure unnecessary discomfort due to osteoporosis because they’re frequently advised:
- To 'take it easy' and expect the pain to resolve (only to find themselves still struggling months later).
- That their bone health issues are a 'normal' part of an active lifestyle.
- That pain medication alone will solve their concerns.
- That surgery represents their sole option.
The truth about Osteoporosis is:
- Resting doesn’t alter the situation. While you might experience temporary relief, the moment you return to your active lifestyle, you may still find yourself grappling with osteoporosis-related discomfort and stiffness (a scenario you might already be familiar with).
- It's crucial to understand that experiencing bone health issues with an active lifestyle is not normal!
- Relying on pain medication can be risky, as it can lead to addiction, pose health dangers, and potentially cause a range of other problems for your body.
- Remember, surgery isn't the exclusive answer for osteoporosis. It's simply the option(s) you've been presented with so far.

It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have osteoporosis. You’ve likely encountered a plethora of well-intentioned advice and options, including:
- A family member suggesting you modify your exercise routine to be gentler on your bones.
- A colleague mentioning the potential benefits of acupuncture.
- Watching YouTube 'experts' recommending specific exercises or stretches.
- A friend assuring you that injections might not be as daunting as they seem.
- Meanwhile, doctors may emphasize surgery as the only permanent solution.
The abundance of choices can make decision-making overwhelming, leading you to question, ‘What if I make the wrong choice?’
Feeling uncertain while grappling with osteoporosis is completely normal.
You might find yourself hesitating for days, months, or even years without taking action. This indecision only prolongs your discomfort and keeps you from enjoying the life you desire. We understand your concerns, and we’re here to support you in taking that crucial first step toward obtaining the relief you need!
When It Comes To Osteoporosis Treatment…
You must choose the right provider for your osteoporosis. Otherwise, you could end up undergoing unnecessary and potentially risky treatments.
Opting for the ‘least-invasive’ and most natural treatment is CRUCIAL for addressing osteoporosis effectively and preventing its recurrence.
To achieve this, it’s not just about managing the symptoms; you need a provider who is dedicated to uncovering the ROOT CAUSES behind your osteoporosis. This approach is key to finding a LASTING solution to your concerns.

“I had chronic back pain
for 10 years and saw
multiple PTs before coming to Divergence. The pain got to the point
where I was unable to get off the couch or play with my kids. These guys knew exactly what was wrong. They treated it, helped me understand what was going on, and my pain hasn’t come
back since.”
At Divergence Physical Therapy & Wellness, we've developed a 3-step process for Osteoporosis treatment to ensure it doesn't return.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
We recognize the frustrations that often come with the healthcare system. Sometimes, you find yourself waiting for weeks or even months for an appointment, only to have a brief 10-minute conversation with the doctors before they rush off to the next patient, leaving you wondering, ‘What just happened?’
Regrettably, many physical therapy clinics operate in a similar manner. They may lack the attentiveness, operate at a fast pace, and your physical therapist might not have the time to address multiple concerns or provide comprehensive assistance for all the areas you’re worried about.
This is precisely why our initial step is to listen to your unique osteoporosis story.
Having worked with numerous individuals facing osteoporosis, we understand that each person is distinct. Everyone has a different medical history, a unique body, and experiences osteoporosis differently. Whether your concerns involve chronic discomfort, stiffness, or aching, we aim to comprehend your situation fully and offer effective solutions.
That’s why our primary step is centered on having an open and comprehensive conversation with you. We allocate the time necessary for you to share your osteoporosis journey so that we can gain a complete understanding. Our goal is not only to understand how your osteoporosis began but also how it’s currently impacting your life.
Step #2 - Discover the Root Causes of Your Osteoporosis
You might have received a diagnosis or medical term to describe what’s happening in your body. Whether it was from your doctor, test results, or online research, you’ve likely been presented with limited options: rest, give up activities you enjoy, or consider surgery.
While these approaches may offer temporary relief, they often fail to address the underlying CAUSES of the problem.
Every person’s osteoporosis is unique, stemming from distinct reasons that vary from one individual to another.
At Divergence Physical Therapy & Wellness, our primary goal is to identify the original cause of your osteoporosis, ensuring that it doesn’t just disappear temporarily, but rather, it REMAINS AT BAY!
We understand that you might have doubts or uncertainties about whether physical therapy is the right solution for your osteoporosis. If that’s you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us below. We’re eager to discuss your concerns and determine if we’re the ideal fit for your needs!

- Resume your daily routine without the burden of constant osteoporosis-related discomfort and aches.
- Lift and play with your children without the fear of osteoporosis-related issues.
