Osteoporosis affects both women and men and is more common than both breast cancer and prostate cancer. People in your age group have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis — a disease which weakens bones and increases your risk of broken bones (fractures). However, osteoporosis can be treated.
If you are feeling unwell or have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 please get tested and reschedule your appointment.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our friendly team.
