Osteoporosis is an important disease that is given its specific "Awareness Month". It is in May each year when people have to be reminded of what a severe disease it is. But there are more than 45 million people in America susceptible to osteoporosis, and many aren't even aware that they're on the short path to hell.

Osteoporosis can be described on Wikipedia as "A bone condition that increases the likelihood of fracture. In osteoporosis, bone mineral density (BMD) decreases and bone micro-architecture is disturbed and the quantity and diversity of proteins found within bone are affected."
Imagine what people go through in everyday life before they can find the solution to their dilemma? They're walking around in pain, and some suffer so much pain that they can't perform their regular activities and they're unable to climb stairs and ride a bicycle or even grocery shop. This is what happens to around 800,000 people who suffer from spine fractures every year.
Spinal fractures have become a major health concern especially now that there are more than 48 million people in America at risk for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes the bone to become fragile. Left untreated, multiple spinal fractures can result in kyphosis, better known as hunchback. This is a serious health issue in that the curvature compresses the stomach and lungs and elevates the risk of complications and death.
