Bone Density Testing

Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease”, because it doesn’t produce symptoms until a fracture occurs. The bones most likely to break are the hip, spine, and forearm. 1 in 2 women and 1 in 8 men are at risk for fracture or have at least one spinal fracture and don’t know it.

The diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis begins with an objective measurement of your current bone density. Today, when doctors detect bone loss in the earliest stage, treatment is most successful. Bone densitometry, accurately, and painlessly measures bone density.

In our office, we offer the objective measurement of your current bone density, and with the results, we have the options you need. For more information, please contact the medical office.
