Bone Mineral Density testing
There are two ways to find out you have osteoporosis: breaking
a bone and getting a bone density test. Breaking a bone is painful, expensive and debilitating. Getting a bone density test is not.
We hope that the information on this website will help you prevent fractures and bone loss. It is never too late to help your
bones be healthier.
Just as it is important to know your blood pressure or height, it is important to know your T-Score,
which is your bone density test result. For most women, the time to watch your T-Score is shortly after menopause when declining
estrogen levels no longer protect your bone density. While not universally agreed upon, there are also other cases when a
bone density test may be appropriate.
