What is Osteoporosis?
Dr Proudman explains: “Osteoporosis is a bone disease that’s characterized by the loss of bone density. In other words, certain bones have decreased strength in comparison to other bones.
“Osteopenia is the precursor to osteoporosis; this is when bone strength has been lost but it’s not to the degree that calls for a label of osteoporosis.”
How does the decrease in bone density affect you?
Dr Proudman says: “When bones are less dense, they aren’t as strong as they should be, which means they are more easily fractured.
“In this case, regular activities of daily life such as walking, or a small trip up a curb, may actually cause a broken bone.”
How is Osteoporosis diagnosed?
Dr Proudman said: “The main diagnostic tool is called a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA scan) and it estimates the density/strength of the bone and risk of fracture.
“The screening procedure is non-invasive, accurate and only takes 20 minutes. After the scan the results will be explained to you, as well as offering any advice, if needed.”
The Letterkenny Chiropractic Clinic open day on 30th March 2019 is a fantastic opportunity to have a bone density scan and spinal check at a very reasonable price.
