Warning Signs & Symptoms
Osteoporosis is a “silent” disease that rarely displays
symptoms until the disease has significantly progressed. At that point
you may develop the following symptoms:
- Back pain
- Loss of height
- Change in posture including a curved backbone
- Fractures as a result of a minor injury. Especially
those of the hip, spine, and wrist.
A Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test is the only way to diagnose osteoporosis.
At this point there is no cure for Osteoporosis, which makes early detection
and prevention even more important.
HealthYES! provides affordable and convenient Bone Mineral Density tests.
This valuable information should be shared with your physician for
their use, in conjunction with other risk factors, to best manage
your bone health.
