This is a fantastic opportunity to have a bone density scan to a very reasonable price! OsteoporosisOsteoporosis is more common now than ever before, with around 1 in 3 women and 1 in 8 men affected by osteoporosis and its symptoms. Early diagnosis and regular monitoring is key to managing the condition and minimising the risks. Are you at risk of osteoporosis?There are a number of risk factors:
These are just a few common factors, the list is long. You don’t necessarily know if you have osteoporosis until you have a fracture. Osteoporosis develops gradually over time and you might not know that you have it until your bones become brittle. Having a DEXA-scan can help to identify if you are at risk, before it becomes a problem. Treatment, which in the early stages is mainly diet and exercise, can make a phenomenal difference. Most of us probably know if we have a poor lifestyle, but a poor result on the DEXA-scan often kick people in to action. Once you have symptoms from osteoporosis it is much more difficult to deal with. There is powerful medication these days, but they are not without side-effects. Our advice is to act now! Have the scan and you will know for sure where you stand. Health ScreeningAs well as offering the bone density screening, Screenitics offer a comprehensive service, covering the major health risks.
