FACTS ABOUT OSTEOPOROSIS AND FRACTURE:

There is over a 10x increased hip fracture incidence in the Spokane area. Osteoporosis prevention starts early with good nutrition and exercise. Peak bone density develops by the time women are 30 years old and after this our efforts are towards maintaining the bone we have.
