Taking Control of Your Osteoporosis
R. Keith McCormick is a chiropractic physician specializing
in the management of patients with osteoporosis. His new book,
Great Bones, is the most comprehensive compilation of information
about osteoporosis available. If you’ve been diagnosed with this
disease, you’ll find everything you need to know about regaining
your skeletal health. If you have osteopenia, you’ll learn how to
minimize your risk for further bone loss.
This book will empower you.
You may feel overwhelmed: What can you do about osteoporosis
and to whom do you turn for help? Great Bones will be your valuable guide.
You may feel frightened: Are you doomed to suffer a hip fracture?
Great Bones will give you strategies for how to avoid one.
You may feel confused: The internet is rife with (mis)information and your doctor may not be forthcoming with the most current science.
Great Bones will — in accessible language — explain the interconnectedness among all the body’s systems and their relevance to
bone loss.
WITH DR. MCCORMICK, osteoporosis is personal. An elite
athlete — an Olympic pentathlete (running, swimming, shooting,
fencing, and horse jumping), he suffered twelve fractures and was
eventually diagnosed with severe osteoporosis when he was just
forty-five years old, relatively young, particularly for a man. In order
to take control of his own bone disease, Dr. McCormick spent decades
reading everything he could find on its causes, treatments, and
most important, whether it was possible to stop it in its tracks.
This book is the culmination of his research and how his discoveries
helped him (he has not suffered a fracture in more than fifteen years and now takes part in Ironman competitions). It became his mission to help readers — women and men, athletes and nonathletes, primary care physicians and specialists — understand not just the basics of skeletal health but also the biological mechanisms of bone loss, diagnostic procedures and laboratory tests to identify its causes, and treatment interventions, both natural and pharmaceutical, to decrease fracture risk and put patients on a path to long-term sustainable bone health. “This book provides
readers with the knowledge necessary to take control of their bone
health.”

If you’re suffering from bone loss, Dr. McCormick helps you
take control of your osteoporosis; if you’re a doctor, he lays out
the most up-to-date science so you can best serve your patients.
Great Bones is a book everyone can use to achieve better skeletal
health well into their 70s, 80s, and beyond. Armed with what you
learn from this book, you’ll become a partner with your doctor in
charting the course of your skeletal health. Great Bones will provide
you with all the tools you’ll need to help you every step of the way.
