As we age, our bones become more fragile, making spinal compression fractures a common concern for older adults. Preventing these fractures involves a combination of healthy lifestyle choices, like a calcium-rich diet, regular physical activity, and routine check-ups to monitor bone health. Simple adjustments at home to reduce fall risks can also be beneficial. By taking these preventative steps, older adults can protect their spine health, reduce fracture risks, and maintain a higher quality of life.
