What type of doctor treats Osteoporosis? And spine disorders?


the primary doctor has ask me to find an specialist for a person with severe osteoporosis, but i don't know the title could it be orthopedict, rheumatology?

This person that you mention should be evaluated by an Orthopedic ( Bone Doc) or, even a Rheumatologist. Since Osteoporosis is more of a bone related issue vs. arthritis ( including Rhematoid Arthritis), it would be best to see a bone specialist first, who will also specialize in spine disorders. If there is any discovery of any rheumatism, then that would be the next step. I hope that this helps and Good Luck to the person that is suffering.

Probably an orthopedist
