Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
Diagnosis
Early Diagnosis for Bone Health
Accurate diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenia is crucial for preserving bone health. We utilize dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans to measure bone mineral density and assess fracture risk. We conduct comprehensive medical history reviews and physical examinations to identify potential risk factors. Laboratory tests may be performed to evaluate calcium and vitamin D levels.
Our goal is to provide a precise diagnosis, enabling us to implement targeted interventions.
Care
Strengthening Bones and Preventing Fractures
Our care strategies for osteoporosis and osteopenia focus on strengthening bones and reducing fracture risk. We develop personalized treatment plans that may include lifestyle modifications, such as exercise and dietary changes.
We utilize pharmacological therapies, such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, or teriparatide, to improve bone density. We provide education on fall prevention and fracture risk reduction.
Monitoring
Maintaining Long-Term Bone Health
Long-term monitoring is essential for individuals with osteoporosis and osteopenia. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to assess bone mineral density and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
We provide ongoing education on lifestyle modifications and medication adherence. Our goal is to ensure sustained bone health and prevent fractures.
