Yoga for Bone Health - Part 1

Dr. Lisa Lilienfield explains how yoga is one of the best ways to counteract age-related bone loss. The key to its benefits is that it uses both tensile (stretching) force and isometric, compressive (weight-bearing) force to stimulate the osteocytes (cells found in mature bone) to produce proteins and lay down new bone.

Yoga is something that anyone, of any age, can do anywhere; the benefits are many and risks few when done correctly. Make sure to watch Parts 1 and 2 to learn a few simple poses you can try at home!

Resolving chronic conditions requires a multidimensional approach. By incorporating the best elements of both conventional and alternative medicine, our goal is always to address not only a patient’s physical symptoms but also to treat the root causes of an individual’s pain and illness, including problems of the mind and spirit that may be contributing to the disease process.

About Dr. Lisa Lilienfield:
https://kaplanclinic.com/provider/lis...
Lisa Lilienfield, MD, is board-certified in family medicine and is a member of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture. Dr. Lilienfield also serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine’s Department of Community and Family Medicine.
In Dr. Lisa’s words, “My goal is to help my patients get well by finding a balance in life — not just physically, but in mind, body and spirit. I look at each patient’s medical history, family history, medications, sleep problems, adrenal and other endocrine problems. We do a thorough workup and develop a treatment plan. Sometimes relatively simple changes can radically improve a patient’s health!”

Dr. Lilienfield’s approach to care comes from a Functional Medicine (FM) perspective, treating the “whole person,” not just her patient’s symptoms. Each new patient visit starts with a look back in time to find stressors or traumas that may be contributing to his or her health condition.

After a thorough physical examination, targeted blood work and other specialized tests to find hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other fundamental dysfunctions within the body will be ordered. Dr. Lilienfield then creates a unique treatment plan that aims to address those imbalances and lower inflammation so the body can begin healing.

Dr. Lilienfield was recognized by Fifty Plus Magazine as an “Exceptional Physician” for her holistic approach to medicine and has been included in Washingtonian Magazine’s listing as one of the “Best Doctors in the Washington, D.C. Area.”
