About Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If it is not prevented, or if it is left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur most often in the hip, spine, and wrist.

You can reduce your chances developing this disease by discovering it early through diagnostic testing, knowing your risk factors, and addressing those risk factors and doing the recommended activities to prevent osteoporosis in the first place.
