This is for you if:
•
You have osteoporosis
• You have a loved one with osteoporosis
• You are interested in osteoporosis
We discuss the evaluation, prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
Topics include diet, exercise, vitamins, calcium, medications, "complementary"
and "integrative" medicine. Educational information will be
presented by experts, and tips will be shared by those who have personal
experience with osteoporosis. You will hear how others have learned
to cope with disability and pain from osteoporotic fractures. You will
have the opportunity to contribute your own ideas and ask all the questions
you always wanted to ask, in a friendly informal setting.
