Dr Jen Milus, DC
Osteoporosis is a serious issue, affecting 1 in 5 women and 1 in 20 men over the age of 50. The diagnosis often starts with a DEXA scan, then evaluating other risk factors. But there’s a big challenge: 90% of these scans contain at least one error, and in 45% of cases, the mistakes are significant enough to change treatment decisions. These errors can lead to fractures, pain, disability, and in severe cases, even death.
Instead of waiting for things to reach a critical point, there are steps one can take now to protect their bone health. In this interactive workshop, participants learn practical ways to improve bone quality and resistance to injury. We’ll cover simple but effective nutritional change, avoidance behaviors, and exercise to live a fuller, more active life.
