I know you did not ask about non-medication treatments, but I was able to increase my bone density within 11 months of working the Better Bones Program taught by Dr. Susan Brown, a medical anthropologist. I highly recommend taking her online course which covers assessment of bone strength, the Alkaline Diet, nutritional supplementation, enhanced digestion, exercise, and stress reduction. All these factors figure into bone health. My lumbar spine t-scores went from -2.5 - -1.9 utilizing the knowledge and practices that Dr. Brown advocates.

I tried for years to manage my osteoporosis with diet, supplements and exercise. Bones just got worse and worse. I have broken both hips and fracture in lumbar spine. I couldn't figure it out, until 3 weeks ago when I was diagnosed with advanced stage celiac disease. I was absorbing nothing! Got my first prolia shot yesterday and so far, so good!
Hi, can you give more information on how I can find out about this treatment?

@ckramer57 Thank you so much! I am new to all of this and had not heard about the Better Bones Program. I will surely check it out as a better diet, exercise and stress reduction never hurt anyone and will probably help. I will have to go on medication, though, because -4.3 T-score in my spine, -3.2 on my femoral neck, and 8 fractured vertebrae in ten months (and 4 ribs in the previous four years) call for a more aggressive approach.
