HAVE YOU HAD YOUR BONE DENSITY TESTED? Osteoporosis can sneak up on you. You may not feel your bones getting weaker but you may notice you’re getting shorter or your spine is becoming more curved. Often, breaking a bone can be the first clue that you have osteoporosis. But osteoporosis is preventable and treatable. The American Medical Association and the National Osteoporosis Foundation recommend a bone density exam yearly or every other year for women over the age of 50, as prescribed by your personal doctor. That’s why we are pleased to announce that St. John’s has acquired the best technology available today for bone health assessment, the Discovery QDR bone densitometry system from Hologic. The exam is painless and discomfort-free. We are committed to providing you the highest quality of care available. For more information or to schedule an appointment for your bone density exam, please contact us at 718-869-7780.
