Osteoporosis & Bone Density Testing
Early Detection Starts with a Simple Scan
Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures—often without warning signs. In fact, many people don’t know they have it until a fracture occurs.
The good news? A quick, painless bone density test (DEXA scan) can detect bone loss early—before it leads to serious injury.

Who Should Get Tested?

- Are a woman age 50+
- Are postmenopausal
- Have a family history of osteoporosis
- Have experienced a fracture after age 50
- Have low body weight or certain medical conditions
Signs & Risks of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis may not cause symptoms early, but warning signs can include:
- Loss of height over time
- Stooped posture or rounded shoulders
- Sudden or chronic back pain
- Bone fractures from minor falls
Fractures—especially hip fractures—can significantly impact independence and quality of life. Early detection is key.
Osteoporosis in Women
Osteoporosis disproportionately affects women, especially after menopause due to decreased estrogen levels.
- 80% of people with osteoporosis are women
- Bone loss accelerates after menopause
- Up to 1 in 2 women over 50 may experience a fracture
