Understanding your bones and overall bone health.
Everyone over the age of 50 will experience normal, age-related bone loss. While women lose bone mass more quickly after menopause, bone loss happens in men too. In fact, according to the most recent Surgeon General’s Report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis, “too many people assume they are not at risk for bone loss. They believe that if they haven’t had any signs or symptoms of damage, then their bones are healthy and strong.” As a result, weak/brittle bones are often missed during regular physical exam checkups and people maintain a greater risk for fractures and their complications.

Improving bone health starts here.
At OrthoNC, we take a holistic, 360-approach to diagnosing and treating bone-related conditions. Our dedicated Bone Health Team – comprised of experienced clinicians and health and wellness coaches, gives patients the best possible chance to address bone health at every stage of life — minimizing the risk of painful, debilitating fractures and helping to slow the progression of or prevent the onset of osteoporosis.
Our Philosophy and Approach
We are unique in our approach to bone health by utilizing the functional medicine model that seeks to determine the underlying root cause of a patient’s condition. We understand that in most cases, a patient’s bone health is directly affected by a combination of genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Utilizing a whole body, patient-centered, and science-based approach, we aim to:
Recognize
Investigate and recognize the underlying issues impacting your health and contributing to potential bone loss and/or poor bone quality.
Restore
Restore the nutritents needed for stronger, healthier bones through diet, targeted supplementation, improved digestion and absorption, and balancing hormones.
Rebuild
Rebuild stronger, healthier bones to reduce the risk of fractures and their complications.
With early intervention, we can help prevent bone loss and osteoporosis. Schedule an appointment today.
