What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a serious condition that weakens the bones. This means your bones can become fragile and are more likely to break with a simple fall. It is caused by multiple factors like lifestyle choices, diet and exercise.
​
This is more common in women over the age of 50 but men can also be affected. The bones that commonly break are the hip, wrist and spine.

Some of its symptoms are:
-
Neck and back pain
-
Curved or stooped spine
-
Decreased height over time
-
Bone that breaks more easily than expected
