Osteoporosis & Fracture Care In Central Texas

Stronger bones. Safer movement. Better quality of life.

Our experienced endocrinologists provide advanced screening, diagnosis, and treatment for osteoporosis, osteopenia, and other metabolic bone disorders, helping you stay active and independent—no matter your age.

What Is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become thin, brittle, and more prone to fractures—even from simple movements or minor falls. It occurs when bone loss outpaces bone formation, often progressing silently until a break occurs.

We also diagnose and manage related conditions, including:

  • Osteopenia (early-stage bone loss)
  • Osteoporosis
  • Medication-induced bone loss
  • Metabolic bone disorders

 

Wondering what the T-score means or whether your bone health is at risk? We’re here to answer your questions and help you build a plan.

Who It Affects

Osteoporosis impacts more than 10 million people in the U.S., and many more have low bone density. It’s especially common in:

  • Women over age 50
  • Men over age 70
  • Individuals with a family history of fractures
  • People with low body weight, poor nutrition, or sedentary lifestyles
  • Patients on long-term steroid or cancer therapy

 

If you are worried about your bone health or have already had a concerning bone density scan or even a fractrure, our team can evaluate your risk and guide your next steps.

Our Approach to Bone Health

At Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology, we view osteoporosis care as more than bone scans and prescriptions. We focus on long-term fracture prevention, early detection, and patient education to help you stay strong, confident, and mobile.

Our endocrinologists specialize in complex and age-related bone health issues, using the latest tools and guidelines to tailor treatment to your specific risk factors. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, managing a chronic case, or wondering if you can reverse your osteoporosis, we’re here to support you with clarity and compassion.
