The Osteoporosis Clinic at the Orthopaedic Center of Southern Illinois was developed to help prevent and treat osteoporosis through education, clinical care, nutrition, physical therapy and medication. Our approach includes a thorough health assessment, screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Our primary goal is to prevent fractures by stopping or slowing bone loss, maintaining bone strength and eliminating factors that contribute to falls.
