🦴 Osteoporosis often has no warning signs. In fact, a fracture after age 50, especially from a low impact fall, may be the first indication of underlying bone loss.

In this segment on The Hampton Roads Show on WAVY TV-10, Jonathan Hull, PA, DFAAPA, discusses why bone health matters, who should consider screening, and the steps you can take to reduce your risk of osteoporosis and future fractures.

Learn how the AOS Bone Health & Osteoporosis Clinic helps patients identify bone loss early and create personalized plans to protect their long term health and mobility.
