Osteoporosis Treatment at Vibhavadi Hospital

Understanding Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease that causes bones to become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. It is often called a silent disease because it develops gradually without noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs. At Vibhavadi Hospital, we provide comprehensive screening, prevention, and treatment for osteoporosis to help maintain bone health and reduce fracture risks.

Symptoms of Osteoporosis
