If you’re in Hanford and worried about your bone health, you’re not alone. As we age, our bones naturally lose density, making them more vulnerable to fractures and breaks. For some, conditions like osteoporosis can accelerate this process, leading to a higher risk of injury and a lower quality of life.
But there’s good news—osteoporosis doesn’t have to hold you back. At Spring Endocrinology, we offer advanced treatments like Prolia and Reclast infusions to help strengthen your bones, reduce fracture risk, and give you the confidence to live life to the fullest.
If you’re ready to take charge of your bone health, here’s everything you need to know about these powerful treatments and how they can help you thrive.
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them brittle and more likely to break. It often develops silently over time, with no symptoms until a fracture occurs. For many, fractures happen in critical areas like the hips, spine, or wrists, which can significantly impact mobility and independence.
If you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis or are at risk, treatments like Prolia and Reclast can help protect and rebuild your bones.
Prolia and Reclast are FDA-approved medications specifically designed to treat osteoporosis by improving bone density and reducing the risk of fractures. Both treatments are administered through infusions, making them a convenient and effective option for many patients.
Prolia is a biannual injection designed to slow down the body’s natural bone breakdown process. By targeting specific cells that cause bone loss, Prolia helps maintain and even improve bone density over time.
Reclast is an annual infusion that works by strengthening bones and slowing down the process of bone loss. It’s a bisphosphonate medication that helps prevent fractures and increases bone density.
Choosing between Prolia and Reclast depends on your individual health needs, lifestyle, and medical history. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | Prolia | Reclast |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency | Every six months (biannual) | Once a year (annual infusion) |
| Administration | Subcutaneous injection | Intravenous infusion |
| Target Patients | Postmenopausal women, high-risk men | Patients with osteoporosis or high fracture risk |
| Primary Benefit | Prevents bone breakdown | Strengthens bones and prevents fractures |
| Side Effects | Possible injection site reactions | Possible flu-like symptoms post-infusion |
