Best way to treat osteopenenia for a 73yo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would recommend-: -that you see your PCP & get a referral to an endocrinologist. The treatment involves tests to make sure you have adequate levels of calcium and vitamin D-3. If all studies show you are fine in absorption of the needed electrolytes, the for exercise you need to weight bear by simply walking. In that way you stress your spine & bone will increase in quality.
