Osteoporosis can lead to painful and debilitating spinal fractures. These fractures, often occurring without a major fall, can significantly impact your quality of life. Symptoms may include back pain, loss of height, and posture changes. Early detection and prevention are key. Regular bone density screenings, a calcium-rich diet, weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking can help protect your spine.
If you’re concerned about osteoporosis, consult with your healthcare provider.
