Early detection of health issues can often help prevent major problems. Screenings offered at Wellstar can help keep your bones healthy and strong.Osteoporosis Screening
Osteoporosis is a bone-weakening disease that may limit your mobility and increase your likelihood of experiencing serious fractures. Risk increases with age and certain medical conditions, and although anyone can get the disease, it’s most common in post-menopausal women. You can have osteoporosis without realizing it. However, a simple imaging exam, known as a bone density test, can identify the disease. With treatment and appropriate safety precautions, you can take control of osteoporosis and reduce your chances of breaking a bone. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends screening for:- Anyone who breaks a bone after age 50
- Men age 50 to 69 with risk factors
- Men age 70 or older
- Post-menopausal women younger than age 65 with risk factors
- Women age 65 or older
- Women of menopausal age with risk factors
