Bone Health & Osteoporosis Clinic at Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists

Osteoporosis affects millions of people worldwide and often shows no symptoms until a fracture occurs. At Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists (AOS), our Bone Health & Osteoporosis Clinic is dedicated to helping patients understand, prevent, and treat osteoporosis before it leads to serious complications.

Why Bone Health Matters

Osteoporosis is sometimes called the “silent disease” because bone loss happens gradually and without pain. It causes more than 8.9 million fractures worldwide each year, most commonly involving the hip, spine, and wrist. These fractures can severely limit mobility, independence, and quality of life. Maintaining strong bones through proper screening, nutrition, and treatment can make all the difference in staying active and independent as you age.

Is Your Bone Health at Risk?

You may benefit from a bone health evaluation if you:

• Are a postmenopausal woman over age 50

• Are a man over age 70 (or younger with risk factors)

• Have broken a bone after age 50

• Take medications known to thin bones

• Have experienced a fracture from a standing-height fall, such as of the shoulder, wrist, pelvis, spine, or hip

If any of these apply to you, now is the time to talk to our specialists about your bone health.
