How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat Osteoporosis?
Mainstream medicine's approach to osteoporosis is a DEXA score and a bone drug.
T-score is low? Start a bisphosphonate. Stomach wrecked, unusual pain, still fracturing? Switch drugs or add another. Calcium and vitamin D get mentioned. Why the bone is breaking down rarely does.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About Osteoporosis?
Commonly missed root causes of osteoporosis include a bone-rebuilding side that has fallen behind for years.
Osteoporosis has a root cause. Bone is living tissue. It builds and breaks down on purpose. A low score is what you see after that balance has been off for years. A drug can slow the loss. It does not explain why the rebuild side fell behind.
The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. Why is your bone breaking down faster than it rebuilds?
Has your doctor ever talked to you about these commonly missed root causes?
