A bone density of ?2.25 means your bones are weaker than normal, and calcium alone may not be enough. You might need extra treatment like vitamin D or other bone-strengthening medicines, but only after your doctor checks your overall fracture risk. Keep taking calcium + vitamin D, do light weight-bearing exercise, and follow up with your doctor to see whether you need additional medication.

Osteoporosis treatment mainly focuses on strengthening your bones and preventing fractures. Most people need calcium and vitamin D supplements, regular sunlight, and weight-bearing exercises like walking. If your bone density is low, your doctor may prescribe medicines such as bisphosphonates or other injections that help slow bone loss or build new bone. Avoid smoking, limit alcohol, and keep your home safe to prevent falls. Regular checkups and bone scans every 1 to 2 years help track improvement.
