Help Prevent Fractures : Professional















Enter a colleague's e-mail address to forward this web site to them.

On behalf of the Alliance for Better Bone Health, we would like to welcome you to the homepage of our practice support program, Helping to Prevent Fractures: An Education Program for Patients and Healthcare Professionals. This comprehensive program was developed to assist you in providing your patients and office staff with materials dedicated to osteoporosis prevention and education.

The materials developed for this program are written for a patient audience in a brief, friendly, easy-to-read format, and explain important basic facts about:

What a bone density test is
Why knowing the patient's bone density is important
What a patient can expect when she goes to her DEXA appointment
Reducing the risk of fracture
How to help manage bone loss

A substantial body of research shows that a better-informed patient is more motivated to comply with her physician's recommendations for care. We believe these materials can help you ease the process for your patients. So please take a few minutes to explore our web site…and contact us if there are any other ways we can support you in educating your patients about osteoporosis!
