Basic Anatomy
Is the head bone connected to the neck bone? Or, is the metatarsal connected to the tarsal? Find out by "boning up" on your basic anatomy.

Broken Bones
Bones can break as a result of a fall, blow, or other trauma. Most breaks aren't life-threatening, but they all need treatment.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis thins and weakens bones to the point where they break easily. Chances are you know someone with osteoporosis; it affects millions.

Osteoarthritis
Most people will develop osteoarthritis (a condition that causes joint pain and stiffness) at some point in their lives.

Joint Replacement
In joint replacement surgery, the diseased parts of the joint are removed and replaced with artificial parts.

Joint Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy, a diagnostic tool, can make it possible to return to many of the activities you enjoyed before your joint problems began.

Back and Spine
Prevent back pain by exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight and lifting properly.

Shoulders and Extremities
Do you put your shoulders to the grindstone or work your fingers to the bone? Do you know how to spot possible bone and joint problems?
