Bone Density
 
Are you at risk for Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones have become thin and weak. As bones weaken, they can be more easily broken. Osteoporosis occurs mostly in women after menopause. One in every three women over the age of 50 has osteoporosis. Nearly one in every two women over age 50 will break a bone in her remaining lifetime because of Osteoporosis.
A Bone Density test is a way to help your doctor measure the health of your bones. It may also be used to monitor your rate of bone loss and your response to therapy.

Risk factors include:

• Over age 40
• On thyroid supplement
• Diet low in calcium
• Family history of Osteoporosis

Bone Density Studies are easy, fast and painless and are covered by most insurance companies. No doctor referral is needed.
