NORTH SMITHFIELD – Gotten a diagnosis of osteopenia? Been told your bone density is low? Suffered a fracture recently? Do you have chronic back pain, a dowager’s hump, or maybe a protruding tummy? A terrible disease affects an estimated 28 million Americans and many don’t even realize they have it, it’s preventable AND it’s treatable.
