10. Treatment
Treatment for osteopenia involves strengthening the bones again using natural methods. One step is to ensure that there is plenty of calcium in your diet. This means eating plenty of dairy products, along with certain vegetables. In some cases, the patient may be prescribed supplements to help ensure they get all that they need.
Any issues with the digestive system that limit the absorption of nutrients may also need to be addressed. More exercise is also recommended, especially exercise that can help strengthen the bones. Strengthening the muscles and improving coordination can also help to protect the patient against falls.
