Osteoporosis and the Bone Health Program with Stacey Rothwell, PA-C

Advance with MUSC Health

Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because it often has no symptoms. You cannot feel your own bones weakening, and many people are not diagnosed until they have broken a weakened bone. Stacy Rothwell, a certified physician assistant at MUSC Health, joins the show to discuss the importance of talking to your doctor about your risk of osteoporosis, the process of getting screened and possible treatments for those who do have the disease.
