Alright Reedley, summer’s around the corner—and you know what that means. Folks are out in shorts, walking the dogs, gardening like it’s an Olympic sport, and signing up for every hiking trail within 30 miles. But let me ask you something real quick: how are your bones doing? You out here getting the sunshine, but are your bones keeping up with your energy?
Because if you’ve got osteoporosis, or your doc’s been giving you that “bone density talk,” now is not the time to play around. You need your bones strong like your grandma’s cooking—solid, dependable, and not falling apart on you halfway through summer.
At Spring Endocrinology in Reedley, we’ve got advanced osteoporosis treatments, including Prolia and Reclast infusions, to help you build stronger bones and stay active all season long. Whether you’re looking to prevent fractures or just want to keep up with your grandkids without sounding like a box of Rice Krispies, this one’s for you.
Alright, let’s break it down. Osteoporosis is a condition that makes your bones weak and brittle. Not “oh, I’m just getting older” brittle—more like “I sneezed too hard and now my rib hurts” brittle.
You might not feel it creeping in, but that’s the dangerous part. It sneaks up like that one cousin at the BBQ who only shows up when the food’s ready—and before you know it, you’ve got fractures, back pain, and a whole lot of regret.
Women over 50 (especially post-menopause)
Men over 60
Family history of osteoporosis
Sedentary lifestyle (yes, Netflix counts)
Low calcium or vitamin D intake
Smoking or heavy alcohol use
If any of these sound familiar, don’t panic—you’ve got options, and we’re gonna walk you through them.
Now, you could load up on calcium pills and hope for the best. But if your doctor says it’s time to take your bone health seriously—Prolia and Reclast infusions are the big guns. These are FDA-approved treatments designed to actually stop bone loss and, in many cases, rebuild bone strength.
Let’s break down the two major players:
Prolia (denosumab) is an injection you get every six months. It works by blocking the cells that break down your bones, giving your body time to catch up and build things back up.
✅ Just two injections a year
✅ Proven to reduce fractures in hips, spine, and other bones
✅ Especially great for postmenopausal women
✅ Easy, fast, and done in the clinic—you’ll be in and out like a pro
And don’t worry—it’s not one of those “you’ll feel weird for a week” kind of things. Most patients feel totally normal afterward and just enjoy the peace of mind knowing their bones are getting stronger.
Then you’ve got Reclast (zoledronic acid)—this one’s a once-a-year IV infusion. Yeah, once a year. As in, you get it, then you don’t have to think about it again for 12 whole months.
✅ One infusion a year—that’s it
✅ Helps both prevent and treat osteoporosis
✅ Can increase bone density and reduce fracture risk
✅ Great option for folks who don’t want to worry about pills or schedules
And let’s be real—if you’re the type who forgets to water your plants or leaves the house with your coffee still on the roof, Reclast is your low-maintenance bestie.
| Feature | Prolia | Reclast |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s given | Injection every 6 months | IV infusion once a year |
| Time commitment | 15 minutes, twice a year | One 30-45 minute session |
| Bone benefit | Prevents bone breakdown | Builds bone strength |
| Ideal for... | Those who prefer regular check-ins | People who want once-a-year simplicity |
At Spring Endocrinology, we’ll help you figure out which one fits your body, your lifestyle, and your goals best. No guesswork—just science and support.
Now, here’s the deal: bone fractures spike during the warmer months. Why? Because that’s when people are more active—gardening, hiking, climbing ladders that they probably shouldn’t be climbing...
And if your bones aren’t ready? One wrong step, and boom—fractured wrist, busted hip, two weeks on the couch eating popsicles and canceling your beach plans.
