Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis Treatment

Osteoporosis is a reduction in bone mass which causes bones to become fragile. When bones are fragile, they are at risk for fracture. Approximately one half of all women in our society will suffer from a fracture in their lifetime related to osteoporosis. Fractures are a leading cause of hospitalization and loss of independence in our senior population. Until that point, it is often a silent disease, with few signs and symptoms.
