In our younger years, a fall can result in mere bruises or soreness. 

But as we age, factors such as muscle weakness and unstable joins can contribute to a loss of balance overall. 

Combined with the loss of bone density over time, this makes falls increasingly common, and dangerous, in our older years. 

Every year, one in four Americans over the age of 65 experiences a fall. 

These falls send older adults to the emergency room every 11 seconds, and every 19 minutes one of these falls proves fatal. 

For older adults, falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma related hospital visits. 

The total cost of these fall injuries in 2014 was $31 billion, but the true cost extends far beyond that.

Combined, the physical, financial and emotional costs of a fall or a fracture make this often-overlooked health event a critical public health issue. 

However, prevention is possible—and OsteoStrong's approach makes it easier than ever.

“I went to physical therapy two to three times per week for a year and a half after an auto accident. I discontinued therapy and walked every other day thereafter. I was introduced to OsteoStrong, I felt a difference in my balance after the first session. Since I started the program, I’ve had no wobbling in my walk after the first 2 months. No pain, tight muscles in my neck and left shoulder. My body is carrying itself via muscle and bone instead of my tensing one side or the other to create balance. I love this place.”

An effective fracture prevention strategy has 3 Core Components:

1. Improved Balance
2. Increased Overall Strength
3. Better Bone Health

We call this the Triple Threat to Fracture Prevention at OsteoStrong. It is a comprehensive solution that not only addresses bone density, but also strength and balance. 

Improvement in the entire musculoskeletal system, which decelerates us in the moment during a fall, reduces the risk of injury and helps to prevent fractures. 

Our members receive a complete fracture prevention strategy only possible with OsteoStrong.

“My balance was so bad, I had to hold someone’s hand or use a walker to walk down the street. Now, I don’t need any help at all!”
