A decade ago, most women had never heard of osteoporosis. Now, as the baby boomer generation approaches menopause and doctors have analyzed the statistics, articles about osteoporosis are appearing everywhere. Osteoporosis presents a health danger because as bones age they absorb less calcium. This leaves them thin and pitted, and more liable to fracture easily. With a third of all post-menopausal women suffering some degree of bone deterioration, this translates into a lot of hip, spine, and wrist fractures. Sadly, a third of all elderly women who suffer a hip fracture die within six months.

At WholeHealth Chicago we strongly feel that osteoporosis is both preventable and reversible, and we often suggest a wide variety of conventional and supplemental therapies. Even better, with one or two simple tests, you can even track your progress as you improve.
