There are small gaps and holes in the bone itself. When a person develops osteoporosis, these holes get bigger and cause the bones to become weaker. This can lead to limited mobility, poor posture, falls, or even bone fractures.

Spinal manipulation by a licensed chiropractor can help restore joint mobility. This allows patients to move better, and reduce the risk of falls and fractures.
