Comprehensive Osteoporosis Care
Treatment
Our goal is to provide comprehensive care and treatment to patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis. We tailor treatment plans to prevent injury and halt disease progression.
Bone Density Scan
(DEXA)
We offer on-site bone density scans to help provide important information about bone health and risk for fractures.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapist addresses exercises to help build bone and decrease bone loss, trains on proper postural alignment to help protect the spine from fracture, works to strengthen back and hip muscles, and provides balance techniques to help prevent falls.
Electrodiagnostics
When the source of pain, neuropathy, or weakness is not clear, electrodiagnostic studies (EMG/NCV) may be provided in the clinic to help determine the best treatment plan.
Nutritional Support
We help to counsel patients on proper nutrition, diet recommendations, and supplementation to ensure adequate Calcium and Vitamin D.
Symptoms Management
We recognize that other symptoms may co-exist with osteoporosis. We complete a thorough, in-depth history and physical to assess for and treat other impairments that may impact quality of life. These include: pain, anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, balance deficits, weakness, gait abnormality, or neuropathy.
