Dexa Scan
Did you know that nearly half of all women over age 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture in their lifetime? This bone loss condition causes bones to become weak and easily break from a minor fall or, in serious cases, from a simple action such as a sneeze and can lead to a loss of independence.
However, a simple, painless bone mineral density (BMD) test can diagnosis bone loss and help to determine treatment options that may help stave off further bone loss.
Prima Health Care has installed a state of the art General Electric bone density scanning machine at our Columbiana and Salem facilities. This testing is covered by most insurance carriers. Please contact our office for further information or to schedule a visit with your doctor to review your bone health.
