Supporting Strong Bones on World Osteoporosis Day
Every year on October 20th, we recognise World Osteoporosis Day – a time dedicated to highlighting the importance of bone health and early prevention. At MH Chiropractic, we’re passionate about helping our community stay mobile, strong, and confident in their movement at every age.
Understanding Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis weakens the bones, making them more fragile and prone to fractures, often without noticeable symptoms until an injury occurs. It commonly affects women after menopause and men over 50, but bone health is something everyone can protect with the right lifestyle, diet, and physical activity.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Bone Health
While chiropractic care does not treat or diagnose osteoporosis, it plays an important role in supporting balance, mobility, and posture all essential for reducing the risk of falls and maintaining joint health. At MH Chiropractic, our evidence-informed approach includes:
Gentle spinal and joint assessments to maintain safe movement and alignment.
Exercise and posture advice tailored to your body and ability.
Lifestyle guidance to help you move with confidence and lower fall risk.
Simple Steps for Stronger Bones
Add calcium-rich foods such as dairy or fortified plant alternatives to your diet.
Ensure adequate vitamin D levels for better calcium absorption.
Keep active with Pilates, walking, or gentle resistance exercises.
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol, which can weaken bone density.
Take Charge of Your Bone Health
Osteoporosis awareness is about empowering yourself to age actively and with confidence. The small steps you take today can protect your mobility for years to come. If you’d like personalised advice on movement, posture, or spinal health, our friendly team at MH Chiropractic is here to help you move better and feel stronger.
