Does osteoporosis cause pain?

My doctor said my back pains are not from the osteoporosis. She said after one shatters or breaks their bone, then it will really hurt.

I saw on a post someone said osteoporosis is painful. What does that mean?

And if they only test a few areas with Dexa scan, should one get a scan of the rest of the spine or is it assumed it's all the way up? 

My Physical Therapist asked where my osteo is so he knows I guess to avoid certain things???? Before I got scan another therapist popped my back and neck, so I'm thinking he shouldn't do that, yikes.
