Lost of height from compressed vertebrae, any suggestions on what to ?

@heyjoe415 just want to note that osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are different problems. Osteoporosis, if DEXA warrants it, can be treated and even reversed with medications.

One more point on this - the common “conditions” for losing bone mass are osteopenia and osteoporosis, with osteoporosis being the more advanced stage of bone density loss.
Neither should be confused with osteoarthritis, as I erroneously did…..

Thank you windy, my bad.
Yes indeed osteoporosis can be reversed. Sorry Joe! I do believe that developing/maintaining a strong core is very helpful for the lower spine, as is avoiding foods that can cause inflammation.
As for reversing osteoporosis, I'm not certain how to do that. Intuitively I'd add calcium to the diet, but these things should be verified with a Dr and ideally after a Complete Blood Panel. That is, finding out what is causing the osteoporosis may lead to answers on how to reverse the condition.
I'm sure other people here can help.
Again, my apologies for misreading Joe's post.
