Treatments For Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Regular Monitoring

While this may seem like common sense, regular monitoring is essential to treating osteogenesis imperfecta. Throughout childhood, patients need to be reminded to take care. Guardians should also take them to doctors for check-ups more frequently to ensure development is continuing as it should and their bones are healthy. In adulthood, it can be hard to remember to keep up these habits, but they are still just as essential. Adults should also focus on maintaining a healthy weight, diet, and exercise program. The exercise program should focus on keeping up or restoring personal care skills. Additionally, visits to a physician are still needed to make sure joints and bones are as healthy as they can be. Without regular monitoring, patients with osteogenesis imperfecta risk a decline in health.
