Osteoporosis is characterized by the depletion of bone mineral mass combined with bone micro-architecture deterioration that results in greater bone fragility leading to increased fracture risk. It’s estimated that 10 million adults in the United States have osteoporosis and another 44 million are at serious risk for the condition.  Incredibly, just a 10% loss of [..]

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition that occurs when tendons that attach to the elbow become overloaded.
