Human bones tend to deteriorate as we age, and having incorrect daily habits can accelerate this deterioration. Osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by a decrease in bone density and structural changes in the bones, leading to their increased deterioration. As a result, bones can’t withstand the normal weight or pressure, making them more prone to fractures, especially in the spine, hip, and wrist, though all bones in the body can be affected. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent fractures and potential complications. The Bangkok Hospital Bone and Joint Center is ready to diagnose and treat those at risk for osteoporosis and those already with the condition to prevent easy fractures. Even if a fracture occurs, treatment is necessary to prevent further fractures. Our team of specialists and modern equipment are designed to tailor treatment to each individual.
