Everyone has a different level of susceptibility to osteoporosis and therefore needs a different level of treatment and preventative measures. This is where Bone Density of Texas can help you. The Delphi Bone Densometer quickly and painlessly detects low bone density and diagnoses osteoporosis. The results from this test allow you and your doctor to create a plan that fits your situation specifically and effectively prevents and controls symptoms of osteoporosis. The good news is that you can help prevent osteoporosis and related fractures.
A comprehensive, lifelong approach to prevention is essential and must include:
- A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D
- A regular program of weight bearing exercise
*Be sure to talk to your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise program
- A healthy lifestyle with no smoking and limited alcohol intake
- Preventative health evaluations which may include bone density testing
- Medical Therapy if indicated
Since osteoporosis can progress undected for decades until a fracture occurs, early diagnosis is important. Assessing your risk for osteoporosis and determining the density of your bones is one more step in ensuring that you are doing all you can to prevent osteoporosis.
