Concerns > Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis affects women at a higher rate than men, with women being four times more likely to experience fractures related to bone loss. This condition can progress without obvious symptoms, making early assessment and appropriate intervention important.
At Bailey Health, our licensed healthcare team provides assessment, management support, and prevention-focused bone health care through an individualized approach. We assess your bone density to detect signs of bone loss. Comprehensive screening may help identify risk factors and contributing health concerns that may affect bone health.
Our team works closely with patients to create personalized care plans aimed at supporting bone health and helping reduce fracture risk where possible.
Our approach may include timely access to bone densitometry scans, also known as DXA scans, and other assessments to support informed care planning. We focus on preventative care, offering strategies intended to support bone density and help manage osteoporosis risk or progression.
Our holistic support may include lifestyle recommendations, dietary guidance, and naturopathic care intended to support bone health. Schedule a private assessment today to build a strong foundation for lifelong wellness.

A DEXA scan is a commonly used imaging test that provides information about bone density by assessing the strength of bones in areas like the spine and hips. It helps assess bone density and can inform fracture-risk assessment when considered alongside clinical risk factors.
The scan also tracks treatment progress by monitoring improvements or changes in bone density over time. Where available and clinically appropriate, some DEXA-related imaging may provide additional information, such as abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), which can be discussed with your clinician.
Blood tests may evaluate biomarkers that can help identify conditions or deficiencies that may contribute to bone loss. These tests measure calcium and vitamin D levels, which are essential for bone strength. They also assess thyroid and parathyroid hormones to understand their impact on bone health and identify inflammatory markers that may indicate autoimmune or inflammatory conditions.
These results help guide individualized treatment recommendations and support a broader review of relevant health factors.
Naturopathic care at Bailey Health may include holistic strategies to support osteoporosis management. This may include nutrition, exercise guidance, and natural therapies intended to support bone health.
Our personalized care plans aim to help reduce fracture risk, support long-term wellness, and address factors that may contribute to osteoporosis. We empower individuals to take an active role in their health, offering a comprehensive approach to bone health and well-being for a balanced, fulfilling life.
Osteoporosis care may support bone density, fracture-risk reduction, mobility, and long-term bone health through personalized care planning, diagnostic assessment, and supportive lifestyle strategies.
Osteoporosis often remains undiagnosed until a fracture occurs. Testing tools such as DEXA scans can help identify bone-health risks earlier, supporting timely intervention aimed at reducing future risk.
By consulting with a naturopathic doctor, patients can receive customized strategies aimed at supporting bone density, managing bone-loss risk, and supporting overall wellness.
Monitoring your progress helps assess your response to care and guide adjustments as needed. This approach is intended to support long-term bone health, help manage fracture risk, and support an active lifestyle.
Your Journey to Holistic Health Begins Within.
During your first visit, our licensed healthcare team will discuss your health history, risk factors, and symptoms. This step helps us understand your unique needs.
Where clinically appropriate, you may be recommended a DEXA scan and blood tests to assess bone density and help identify contributing health factors.
Based on your test results, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan. This may include lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, supplements, or medications where clinically appropriate and prescribed by an authorized practitioner, with the goal of supporting bone health.
Regular follow-ups allow us to track your progress, assess your response to care, and adjust the plan as needed.
Individuals at risk of osteoporosis, such as those with a family history, previous fractures, or conditions affecting bone health, may benefit from a bone-health assessment and individualized care planning.
DEXA is generally considered a low-radiation, non-invasive test. Your clinician can discuss whether it is appropriate for you.
Blood tests may help identify deficiencies, hormone-related factors, or other health conditions that may contribute to bone loss.
The frequency depends on your risk factors and treatment plan. Our team will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.
Yes, lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, weight-bearing exercises, and stress management can support bone health and complement medical treatments.
