Osteoporosis and the Spine

Join Jen Gorman as she interviews Hagit Berdishevsky about osteoporosis and its relationship to the spine. Jen will ask general questions about risk factors for and prevention of osteoporosis. Then she’ll dig deep into specifics for people with hyperkyphosis, stenosis, and scoliosis (including spinal fusions as osteoporosis is a risk factor for adjacent segment degeneration).
