Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to weaken. This can lead to rounded shoulders,
loss of height and increases the risk of fractures. OP is painless, but if a fracture
occurs it can be very painful. This is a serious health problem in the United States
affecting about 28 million people, 80% of people with OP are women. This is the
culprit cause of bone fractures in post menopausal women.
