Osteoporosis is a loss of bone density that can occur as we age. It is responsible for over a million broken bones each year and is a major cause of fractures, back pain, spinal problems, and loss of independence.
This bone disease is clinically silent until the first fracture occurs which is why it is important that those at risk for this disease are identified early and that steps are taken to prevent bone loss and fracture.
Safecare Medical Center wants to help spread awareness and aid in the prevention of Osteoporosis for all our patients – new and established. Come in and discuss Osteoporosis with one of our providers today.
