Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens the bones, making them more fragile and more likely to fracture. It often develops silently over many years without noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs.

Common fracture sites include:

– Hip

– Spine

– Wrist

Early osteoporosis screening can help detect low bone density before serious complications develop, allowing timely prevention and treatment.

Many people do not realize they have osteoporosis until they experience a fracture from a minor fall or everyday activity. Screening helps identify bone loss early and reduces the risk of:

1.Fragility fractures

2.Chronic back pain

3.Loss of mobility

4.Height loss and spinal curvature

5.Reduced quality of life

Early diagnosis allows doctors to recommend lifestyle changes, nutrition, exercise, or medication to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.
