New on the Blog: Living With Scoliosis and Osteoporosis – Your FAQs Answered

More and more people in our community are navigating both scoliosis and osteoporosis, yet the links between the two can feel confusing. In our latest Backbone feature, Sarah Leyland, Osteoporosis Specialist Nurse at the Royal Osteoporosis Society, helps break it all down.
