11. Treatments Lifestyle changes and a variety of medications. Teriparatide is approved for the treatment of postmenopausal women who have severe osteoporosis and are considered at high risk for fractures. The medicine is given through daily shots underneath the skin. Regular exercise can reduce the likelihood of bone fractures in people with osteoporosis. Some of the recommended exercises include:

12. Prevention Calcium is essential for building and maintaining healthy bone. Vitamin D is also needed because it helps your body absorb calcium Follow a diet that provides the proper amount of calcium, vitamin D, and protein Quit smoking. Limit alcohol intake It is also critical to prevent falls
