Are you worried about osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a gradual thinning and weakening of bones, which can lead to bone fractures. Over 28 million Americans, 80% of whom are women, have or are at risk of developing this condition. Since osteoporosis is often referred to as a “silent disease,” many are less likely to find out they have it until they suffer a painful fracture.

Osteoporosis Risk Factors:
  • Female and older than age 50
  • Family history of fracture
  • Early menopause
  • Diet low in calcium
  • Thin and small framed

DEXA scanning is a safe and easy test to assess your risk. In just 15 minutes, our highly precise densitometer identifies low bone density before it becomes a problem. For those patients with low bone density, it helps us monitor the response to treatment.
