Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the bones to become weak and brittle and at a high risk
for fracture. In all individuals, bone breaks down over time but is replaced with new bone
tissue. As people age, bone loss occurs at a faster rate than new bone mass is created, resulting
in osteoporosis. Heidi Roppelt, MD is a board certified rheumatologist will talk different causes
and various ways to treat this disease.
