Choose Bone Health Care That Keeps You Active

Did you know 1 out of 2 women over 50 years old and 1 out of 4 men over 50 years old will break a bone due to osteoporosis? (National Osteoporosis Foundation)

The total death rate due to fractures caused by osteoporosis is greater than the rate for breast, ovarian & cervical cancer combined. However, if diagnosed and treated, patients with osteoporosis can effectively rebuild bone and prevent fractures.

OrthoGeorgia Bone Health Clinic – Our Mission

Reduce overall fracture risk
Accelerate healing
Prevent subsequent fractures
Break the fragility cycle

The Bone Health team at OrthoGeorgia is committed to helping you maintain bone health as you age. Over time, bones naturally lose mineral density and become porous. This can make you susceptible to fractures, which can lead to debilitating pain, disability and loss of independence.

We are here to help you take a proactive approach to achieving and maintaining optimal bone health. Our experts help maximize your bone health and minimize your risk for bone fractures.
