As we age, our bones naturally lose density, making bone density testing crucial for monitoring and maintaining bone health. Many community pharmacies offer this service, taking bookings for a heel ultrasound to estimate your bone density. The clinic will provide comprehensive advice and follow-up care.
Bone density testing is a non-invasive procedure performed by a visiting agent, aimed at measuring bone density and strength, essential for individuals with risk factors such as osteoporosis, vertebral deformities or osteopenia (low bone density), as well as those post-menopausal and concerned about bone health. It plays a crucial role in identifying osteopenia or osteoporosis early, assessing fracture risk before a bone break occurs and determining bone density status, whether it's normal, low or indicative of osteoporosis.
Bone density testing at your community pharmacy empowers you to proactively manage bone health, get supporting advice and reduce fracture risks.
