Osteoporosis
is a disease in which the bones become extremely fragile,
easy to fracture and slow to heal. While it is most common
in post-menopausal women, it can effect women and men of all
ages.
If you
are a woman over 45, or if there's a history of osteoporosis
in your family, you should check your bone mineral density
every two years.
Cabrini
uses the latest technology, a Bone Densitometer, to measure
bone density. It can help detect osteoporosis early, or create
a baseline that allows us to identify patients at high risk.
We also
provide aggressive treatment for osteoporosis patients that
includes exercise and proper diet, and sometimes hormone therapy.
To inquire about a bone densitometry test, call (212) 995-6290.
