Osteoporosis Awareness: How Our DEXA Scan Can Help Detect and Prevent Bone Issues

Oct 11, 2024

October is National Osteoporosis Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to focus on bone health. Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because it progresses without symptoms until a fracture occurs. At Harper Health, we prioritize early detection through DEXA scans (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), which accurately measure bone density.

DEXA scans are part of our 10-step annual physical, giving us detailed insights into your bone health. If we detect signs of low bone density, we can recommend treatments, supplements, or weight-bearing exercises to improve bone strength.

Maintaining healthy bones is crucial, especially as we age. Don’t wait until it’s too late—schedule your DEXA scan today to safeguard your mobility and independence.
