Osteoporosis is simply a decrease in bone density that is observed during medical tests such as bone densitometry. Osteoporosis is in no way linked to any pain whatsoever. The bone is formed until the age of approximately 35 years and thereafter, it gradually loses his bone density. This process is normal aging. So at a certain age, the bone becomes more fragile and more likely to fracture during a fall, for example. But this weakening of the bone is a normal process and does not cause pain. The belief that your bones are fragile take you to worry about getting hurt more and fix your attention on this problem. Never forget that your thoughts create your reality. If you’re afraid of hurting you or any gesture because you feel weak, you maximize your chances of injury. The Tibetan and Asian people live but much longer than us and have no such concern.
People are generally poorly informed about the functioning of the human body and this ignorance is the source of many fears and concerns completely unjustified. If people had more knowledge, they act different and have much less concern. However, the medical profession sometimes contributes to the perpetuation of these concerns. Here is an example of one of my patients. A 60 year old man, glowing with health and very active, consult your doctor for back pain recently. The doctor diagnosed that his back pain is linked to osteoporosis. He mentions that at his age, he should be more careful because the bones are more fragile and he prescribed calcium supplements without any special consideration. You realize that many doctors create conflicts of diagnoses to their patients without knowledge and without any bad intention simply because they lack the necessary knowledge of the six spheres that make up each individual. As a result, they sometimes hurt them more to their patients they help. Never assume a medical diagnosis as an end but rather as a starting point in seeking solutions.
Therefore, the patient begins to consume calcium supplements each day. Know that the body needs a certain amount of vitamins and minerals each day but if the input is too much, the body eliminate or in urine, feces or sweat. So when the next medical consultation, the doctor made him do a urine test and concludes that there is too much calcium in their urine. It concludes that the cause of her osteoporosis is probably because the patient’s kidneys remove too much calcium and he prescribed the patient a drug to retain calcium in their kidneys and avoid losses in his urine. You see how a diagnosis can be aberrant when not thinking! Do not think that every health professional is good. There are good professionals and bad in every profession. As this patient did not suffer from osteoporosis and requires in any supplements of calcium, the body naturally eliminates them in his urine. His back pain was related to excessive tension of the psoas muscle in the hip as is the case in approximately 60% of the elderly. Two osteopathic treatments were sufficient to stop the pain completely.
Be aware that osteoporosis is not always problematic because we all lose bone density as they age. Know that it is not related to pain. Look for the cause elsewhere! Know that it is much more common in women than in men. Know that it is also often linked to psychological conflict “non-acceptance of aging. In Psychobiology, calcium loss is a loss of value and structure. This is often a conflict of general worthlessness of what the person thinks of itself, offset by the collective consciousness. Older people who are infected do not they say: “I’m good for trash; at my age, I am worth nothing, I am ugly …?
Remember they can not be and have been. He must live in harmony with your age and what you are. Let the mourning of your past and learn to value you. Accept that we should all grow old and you find that your symptoms improve. Finally, adopt healthy eating habits because food is one of six areas of the body that must be addressed. It has an important role on bone formation. Eat regular yogurt with low fat percentage. Eat fresh fish, especially oily fish (sardines, salmon, mackerel, …) that contain a good amount of omega 3. Walk every day. The repetition of “loading-discharge ‘(walking, dancing, …) contribute to bone formation. Enjoy the benefits of sunlight that contributes to the formation of vitamin D while protecting your skin with sunscreen properly.
