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.

Joe

@heyjoe415 your post was helpful since the words sound the same and are easy to confuse (not you, I realize you just misread). There are many medications that will help osteoporosis. If severe our doctors tend to prescribe Forteo or Tymlos (work through the parathyroids) or, increasingly, Evenity (inhibits sclerostin). Of course exercise, diet and supplements support that treatment.

@joelaurie1 I hope you have an endocrinologist who can prescribe for you!
