Osteoporosis Prevention Starts Now: What Every Woman Needs to Know (Copy)

May is Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month: a reminder that protecting your bones is a lifelong priority, especially for women. Osteoporosis often progresses silently until a fracture occurs, which can dramatically impact independence and quality of life.

While some risk factors are out of our control, many are modifiable. In this blog, we’ll break down what osteoporosis is, why spine, hip, and wrist fractures are especially concerning, and what you can do right now to support your bone health. From diet and exercise to screenings and medications when needed, there’s a lot you can do today to prevent the serious consequences of bone loss.
