Episode 3: Treating and Preventing Osteoporosis

The word osteoporosis literally means "porous bones." It occurs when bones lose an excessive amount of protein and mineral content, particularly calcium. In this episode, we'll learn about medical therapies and lifestyle changes which can help prevent osteoporosis from progressing to the point of a fracture. For patients who have experienced a fracture, a new minimally invasive surgery could get them back on their feet in no time.
