Alright Madera, let’s talk about something that never seems sexy until you take a weird step off the curb and snap—your hip just did a backflip. That’s right, we’re talkin’ bone health. You heard me. Not sports injuries, not protein powders—bones. The support beams of your whole dang body.
And look, I know bone density isn’t exactly a crowd-pleaser at the summer BBQ. No one’s standing around the grill yelling, “Hey, how’s your femur density holding up, Carl?!” But here’s the thing—if your bones aren’t strong, you’re just a meat puppet waiting for a bad sneeze to take you out.
So let’s get real. If you live in Madera and you’re dealing with—or trying to avoid—osteoporosis, it’s time to know about the power duo of bone infusions: Reclast and Prolia. And here at Spring Endocrinology, we’re delivering these treatments with the kind of care and common sense your grandma would approve of.
Let’s get into it. Suns out, bones out.
Bones might be hard, but they’re living tissue. They break down and rebuild constantly. Think of them like your yard—if you don’t maintain it, it goes wild. Or worse, starts falling apart.
Osteoporosis is when the rebuilding process falls behind the breakdown process. That leads to bones that are weak, brittle, and one bad step away from disaster.
It creeps up quietly—like a ninja in orthopedic shoes. You don’t feel your bones thinning. But next thing you know, you’re breaking a wrist trying to catch a falling jar of peanut butter. And that ain’t right.
Now you’re probably thinking, “I’m good, I take a multivitamin sometimes.” That’s adorable. But osteoporosis is tricky. It’s called the “silent disease” for a reason.
Here are some not-so-fun signs that something’s off:
You’ve shrunk an inch or two (and not from slouching)
Your back hurts for no reason
You’ve broken bones from minor falls
You’re over 50 and never had a bone density test
Your doctor said “your DEXA scan wasn’t great” and you Googled it, panicked, then forgot about it
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who these treatments are for.
Now let’s talk about the heavy hitters. These aren’t your average calcium supplements. These are prescription infusions designed to rebuild and protect your bones like a SWAT team for your skeleton.
How it works: Reclast is a bisphosphonate. It slows down the cells that eat away at bone (called osteoclasts—fitting name, right?). That gives your bone-building cells time to catch up.
How it’s given: One infusion once a year. That’s it.
Who it’s for: Great for people with osteoporosis or those at high risk for fractures.
Bonus: It helps prevent spine, hip, and other major fractures. So if you’re clumsy or just tired of living like you’re made of glass—this is your move.
How it works: Prolia is a monoclonal antibody that blocks a protein that tells your body to break down bone. Fancy science. Big results.
How it’s given: One injection every six months.
Who it’s for: Especially helpful for postmenopausal women and men with osteoporosis who can’t tolerate other meds.
Another bonus: It can even increase bone density. We’re not just holding the line—we’re winning ground here, people.
Nope. Nice try.
Sure, postmenopausal women are at high risk due to the sudden drop in estrogen, which protects bones. But men? You’re not off the hook.
Around 1 in 5 men over 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture.
And those fractures? More deadly for men. (Yup. Yikes.)
So unless your bones are made of vibranium, don’t assume you’re safe. If you’ve had cancer, hormone treatments, long-term steroid use, or just not the best family history—get checked.
Now I know what you’re thinking—“It’s summer, man. I’m trying to go fishing, not sit in a clinic.” Hear me out.
Ever try stepping off a pool deck in flip-flops with a paper plate full of ribs? Yeah. Let’s make sure that fall doesn’t turn into a hospital stay.
The sun’s out, people are active, and you're thinking about your health more. Perfect time to tackle something that's been sitting on the back burner.
Come fall, it’s rainy, slippery, and dark. Don’t wait until you’ve fallen and can’t get up. Get protected now.
