Bone Density Screenings Help Detect and Manage Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, increasing fracture risk. Affecting one in five women, it’s often undiagnosed until a fracture occurs. Once diagnosed, with proper care, it can be managed to reduce future risks.

A simple and painless bone density test (DEXA scan) measures bone strength and helps diagnose, track, and treat osteoporosis.

If you’ve had a fracture, it’s highly recommended to have a bone density test if you haven’t had one in the prior two years. Early detection allows for better prevention and treatment options.

Osteoporosis can cause repeated fractures if untreated. After a fracture, scheduling a bone density scan at your follow-up visit helps address this chronic condition and supports your overall health.
