Osteoporosis

Each year women suffer 700,000 vertebral fractures. In our experience, this is one of the most painful conditions that a woman will ever suffer in her lifetime. In most cases, these are women who have raised children and have worked hard for many years. Almost always they exclaim that a fractured or collapsed vertebra is the worst pain that they've ever had. Unfortunately, it often takes 4-5 months before they are referred to our services.

In most cases, you can be pain-free within the first 3-4 visits. Women suffering from this condition benefit by taking advantage of our Aqua Therapy programs and our clinical equipment, by using a home unit called the TENS unit (which helps control pain), and teaching you the proper exercises to remove the pressure off your spine and putting it on your muscle system.

Along with the vertebral fractures, there are also 500,000 fractured hips and 200,000 wrist fractures. Both conditions can be life threatening and certainly incapacitating.

The three greatest steps to preventing Osteoporosis are:
  1. A good strengthening program
  2. A good healthy diet
  3. Any supplements that your physician feels you need
