Osteoporosis Center
Most people suffer fatigue, weakness, loss of strength, poor balance, back pain, difficulty in starting from sitting to standing position and easily get fractured after a small incident as they age. Our bone density and bone mass become thinner and weaker as we get older. Bones will get brittle and easily fragile due to increase in bone resorption and a decrease in new bone tissue formation. That’s what we call Osteoporosis.
However, they do not notice whether they have osteoporosis and rarely test it because Osteoporosis disease doesn’t show any symptoms. They recognize only when they suffer fragility fracture and fracture-related diseases – most often in vertebrae (spine), hip, and wrist.
Complications of Osteoporosis are persistent bone pain, fracture, fracture-related illness, post-fragility fracture, deformity, prolonged bed rest, and depression.
