Parathyroid and Osteoporosis​

At Empire Endocrinology, we’re committed to providing expert, compassionate care across all areas of endocrine health. Two of the most important conditions we treat—parathyroid disorders and osteoporosis—are closely linked, as both play a vital role in maintaining bone strength and overall well-being.

Parathyroid Care

The parathyroid glands, though small, are powerful regulators of calcium balance in the body. When their function is disrupted, it can lead to significant health problems if not properly managed. Common parathyroid conditions we treat include:

Primary Hyperparathyroidism – Overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH) leading to high calcium levels, bone loss, kidney stones, and fatigue.

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism – Often related to chronic kidney disease, causing calcium and bone metabolism issues.

Hypoparathyroidism – Low PTH levels, resulting in calcium deficiency, muscle cramps, tingling, and sometimes seizures.

Our approach

We use advanced diagnostic tools—blood tests, imaging, and bone scans—to accurately identify parathyroid disorders. Treatment options may include:

Medication management to correct calcium imbalances

Nutritional support to optimize bone and metabolic health

Surgical referral when removal of overactive glands is necessary

Our goal is to help you restore balance, protect bone health, and improve long-term quality of life.

Osteoporosis Care

Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because bone loss occurs gradually without symptoms—until a fracture happens. With early detection and proper treatment, osteoporosis is both preventable and treatable.

Who is at risk?

Women over 50 (especially postmenopausal), Men over 70, People with a family history of osteoporosis, Individuals on long-term steroids or with certain endocrine conditions, Patients with parathyroid disorders
