Osteoporosis is preventable and treatable but only if diagnoised early enough to receive effective therapy. Are you one of 1.4 million men and women with Osterporosis? This gradual loss of bone mass, generally beginning about the age 35, is a fact of life for everyone. After growth is complete, women ultimately lose 30 to 50 percent of their bone density, and men lose 20 to 30 percent. This loss of bone mass increases your risk of fracture.
The current waiting time to have a bone density done in the metro area is over one year! Through this
screening program you can have a bone density assessment performed by a qualified technician who will provide a detailed documented report that can be taken to your family
physician for interpretation and advice. The procedure is safe, painless and takes approximately 17 minutes. The cost for this service is only $25. Cash, visa or debit.
To book an appointment please contact the clinic at 468-2774 or contact Sandra Thomas @ 462-6250 for further information.
