Programs
Living with or caring for a loved one who has osteoporosis can leave you feeling anxious and with many questions. Osteoporosis Canada is here to help you live well with osteoporosis by providing evidence-based information, resources, tools and strategies to help manage the disease and support programs.
Support Resources
Osteoporosis Canada currently produces publications in various languages.
Broken Bones
A broken bone is called a fracture and may be a warning sign of osteoporosis. If you have already had a fracture, you may be at high risk for another fracture. A spine or hip fracture puts you at very high risk for another fracture.
Managing Pain
Pain is the body’s natural response when a bone breaks. Both the fracture and any injuries to the body tissue near the fracture site can produce pain.
After The Fracture
If you have recently broken a bone, the information that follows will help you to understand the pain that you are experiencing and the stages of healing that you will go through.
COPN – Our Patient Network
COPN, the Canadian Osteoporosis Patient Network, is the patient arm of Osteoporosis Canada, a national network of people living with osteoporosis.
