Balloon Kyphoplasty Provides Relief for Osteoporosis Fractures
**Great Mother’s Day Story to Tie Into the Holiday**
Osteoporosis causes an estimated two million fractures in the elderly each year in the United States, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. May has been designated National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month in hopes of helping people prevent the debilitating fractures that come with this disease.
People with a family history of osteoporosis are most at risk, but with early detection, much discomfort can be avoided. Many people who have suffered spinal fractures from osteoporosis can now repair the fracture and get relief from pain with a procedure called Balloon Kyphoplasty. The procedure can help patients get back to a life with mobility.
KYPHON® Balloon Kyphoplasty incorporates technology developed by Gary K. Michelson, M.D.
