Osteoporosis literally means ‘bones with holes’. It occurs when bones lose minerals such as calcium more quickly than the body can replace them. They become less dense, lose strength and break more easily.

Most people don’t realise they have osteoporosis until a fracture happens, however there are many risk factors which can impact bone health and these should be investigated. Early intervention and diagnosis can help prevent unwanted factures. as there are usually no signs or symptoms.

If you have osteoporosis, medical treatment can prevent further bone loss and reduce your risk of bone fractures and lifestyle changes will help support your bone health.
