A note from Dr. Reichel

As an orthopedic surgeon, I see fractures every week. Some happen from high-energy injuries. Others happen after ordinary falls. Those experiences first drew me toward bone health, and they also made the broader connections hard to ignore.

A fragility fracture is not just a broken bone. It can affect confidence, independence, family life, and the future risk of another fracture.

Bone health remains a major foundation of leereichelMD.com. I also want to explore muscle, movement, balance, nutrition, recovery, and medical care with the same careful, practical approach.

This site is educational, not personal medical care. My hope is that it helps you walk into your own clinician visit with clearer questions and less confusion.
