Hi fiesty76, well Endocrinologist manage osteoporosis. Orthopaedic docs do take care of bone problems as well, but my understranding is that Endocrinologists manage osteoporosis once a patient gets that. Primary care docs should do DEXA aks bone density scans for women and some men at a certain age or if indicated otherwise. Other doctors such as geriatricians, physiatrists, even GYN can be involved in some way. Warmest regards, Sunnyflower @artscaping @lioness

Rheumatologists also treat osteoporosis. I had my first appointment with a rheumatologist today. Probably very similar approach to treatment as the endocrinologist I have been seeing. She is a woman and easier to talk to. Same drugs. No mention of non pharmaceutical options.
