What are the consequences of poor bone health left untreated?
Left untreated, rapid bone breakdown leads to a gradual weakening of bone tissue. Eventually, vertebrae in the spine can crack and compress from even simple activities like bending to tie a shoelace. This results in permanent spinal deformities (“Dowager’s Hump”) and painful fractures of the wrist, hip, and spine. Monitoring your bone health early is the key to successful treatment.
