Abstract

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality. Medications can provide effective treatment but their use can be complicated by side effects. This case illustrates the role that diet, supplements, and specific exercises can play in preventing and treating bone loss and reducing fracture risk.
