Bone & Joint
HEALTH TOPICS - PROBLEMS
Together, bones, joints, muscles and tendons make up the structure and form of the body. They hold us together, protect our internal organs and provide the machinery for movement and personal function.
Bone and joint conditions are often chronic, striking in mid-life and advanced age. They rank extremely high on the quality-of-life scale for the fastest growing segment of our population – those over 55.
Bone and joint problems range from diseases, such as arthritis, that can be debilitating and painful, to fractures and deformities, and joint wear requiring surgery.
