Bone Up on Health: Understanding Bone Density Scans at Harper Health, Chicago

Greetings Chicagoland folks! Welcome to another blog post from your reliable partners in health at Harper Health. Today, let's talk about an important aspect of your health that can often be overlooked: your bone health. In particular, let's focus on the invaluable service of Bone Density Scans' role in maintaining your bone health.

What’s a Bone Density Scan?

A Bone Density Scan - also known as Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA) - is an enhanced form of x-ray technology used to measure bone loss. It is a simple, quick, and noninvasive procedure that can accurately diagnose osteoporosis, a common condition causing bones to become brittle and incidents of fractures in older adults.

Why Should You Consider a Bone Density Scan?

If you're over the age of 50 or have had a fracture from a simple fall, a Bone Density Scan should be a part of your routine healthcare. Understanding your bone health status can help you mitigate potential risks of debilitating fractures and their associated complications. In addition, early detection of bone loss, through a Bone Density Scan, can empower you and your physicians with information to craft a healthcare plan catered to your specific needs.
