Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease characterized by weakened bones, making them more susceptible to fractures. At Emirates Hospitals, the Osteoporosis Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for individuals affected by this condition. The clinic offers a collaborative approach, with a team of specialists working together to diagnose, treat, and manage osteoporosis to prevent fractures and improve patients’ quality of life.
The MDT at Emirates Hospitals includes professionals from various disciplines, such as orthopedic specialists, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and nurses. This team approach ensures that patients receive a holistic treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. The clinic focuses on both the medical and lifestyle aspects of osteoporosis management.
Diagnosis at the Osteoporosis MDT Clinic involves thorough assessments, including bone density testing, X-rays, and blood tests to determine bone health and identify underlying causes of osteoporosis. Once diagnosed, the team creates a personalized treatment plan that may involve medications, dietary changes, exercise, and fall prevention strategies.
The clinic’s approach to treatment emphasizes prevention, aiming to reduce fracture risks through lifestyle changes such as improved nutrition, regular weight-bearing exercises, and proper fall precautions. Medications like bisphosphonates, hormone replacement therapy, and calcium supplements may be prescribed to strengthen bones and slow disease progression. Physiotherapists work with patients on exercise regimens designed to increase bone strength, balance, and flexibility.
Ongoing monitoring and support are key components of the Osteoporosis MDT Clinic. Regular follow-up visits ensure that treatment is effective and adjusted as necessary.
