Vertebral fractures are the most common osteoporotic-fractures, but it is estimated that only 1/3 come to clinical attention. If you notice height loss of 4 cm / 1 ½ inches or more, stooped back, or sudden back pain - ask for an assessment! #WorldOsteoporosisDay

#DidYouKnow One fracture leads to another. Yet, it’s estimated that only 1/3 of vertebral (#spine) fractures come to clinical attention. That’s a missed opportunity to halt a cycle of recurring fractures, including life-threatening hip fractures in later life.
