Bone Density
FamilyCare Medical Group offers bone density testing (dexascan), a test that measures bone density, a factor in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is an illness that makes people prone to breaking bones. It is common in post-menopausal women and in some other medical conditions. A bone density measurement is similar to an x-ray and takes from 5-20 minutes. It is simple, safe, painless, and non-invasive. This measurement helps your physician to determine if you need to take certain steps to protect your bone health.
