<p>My paternal grandmother and mother both seem to have osteoporosis because they have major lower back issues.  I&#8217;m only 18, but I&#8217;ve been having lower back pains too.  I thought it was because I danced too much and over-worked my hips and back (hip-hop, salsa, krump, etc.), but now I see I run the risk of having osteoporosis too.  What should I do?</p>
<p>There are many causes to low back pain. I wouldn&#8217;t rate Osteoporosis particularly highly unless the vertebral bodies have started to collapse increasing the AP curve changing the muscle balance.<br />
Please don&#8217;t self diagnose this condition.<br />
The only way you can tell osteoporosis in the early onset is with bone density scans.</p>
<p>Diet and lifestyle are major factors in preventing osteoporosis.</p>
<p>A diet too rich in protein and sugar is very damaging to bone health as is a very sedentary lifestyle (and having babies when you have a gynae age of less than 4. Your Gynae age is calculated by the age you are when you first menstruate. A girl aged 14 who started menstruating at 12 and a girl of 16 who started menstruating at 14 both have a gynae age of 2). A diet deficient in Calcium is also damaging to bone health.</p>
<p>If hip hop dancers are prone to Osteoporosis I suspects its because they are undernourished rather than because of their activity.<br />
I treated a lot of dancers when i practiced in the UK as the clinic I worked in had a contract with a dance school. They virtually all had eating disorders and were osteoporosis waiting to happen.</p>
<p>I suspect your low back pain is probably because you have a deep lumbar curve if you do a lot of dancing.</p>
