Do These Two Things Today to Prevent a Bone or Joint Attack
Just like a heart attack signals serious health issues, bone and joint conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis can lead to serious problems with your overall health. If left untreated, bone and joint conditions can lead to chronic pain and fractures that lead to lost mobility and independence— a bone or joint attack!
Have an EARLY evaluation and free screening.
Early evaluations and screenings are a must! Make an appointment to get evaluated by a team that addresses all of your bone and joint health needs— from painful joints, to concerns about bone loss, muscle weakness, and preventing falls— then get screened for silent bone and joint health diseases. Simple, non-invasive tests can tell you if you’ re on the path to a long and independent life or headed for worrisome health down the road.
Choose a treatment plan that is right for you.
Living a long, healthy, and active life depends on good bone and joint health. Your bone and joint health provider should offer both preventive and curative treatments that work for you. Symptoms that can indicate when something is wrong include:
• Sudden or worsening joint pain
• Swelling, inflammation, and / or stiffness
• Unexpected fractures from weakened bones
• Loss of strength and mobility
• Falls
