POROSIS-CARE is a medical information site that helps people living with osteoporosis understand their condition and their treatment options, so that they can prevent fractures.
Why this site exists — a message from Hiroyuki Katoh, orthopaedic surgeon, to anyone weighing up treatment for osteoporosis.
This message is spoken in Japanese. Japanese captions are available from the player’s CC button; an English version is not yet available.

Every article is reviewed on a regular cycle against several criteria — medical accuracy, how well patients can follow it, instructional design, empathy and psychological support, practical usefulness, and legal compliance — and revised continuously.
The supervising physician holds advisory relationships with manufacturers of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) devices (Medtronic, Boston Scientific) and with manufacturers of osteoporosis medicines. This site aims to present balanced, evidence-based information, but when choosing a treatment you should always seek opinions from more than one medical institution.
