Bone Health Screening
Handled by an Endocrinologist with support from Rheumatology/Orthopedics and Physiotherapy/Fall-prevention services.
Why should it matter to you?
If you or a parent has back pain, height loss, or minimal-trauma fractures—or spends little time in the sun—bone health checks can prevent serious fractures that make everyday life difficult and expensive.
Strong bones are vital for a healthy, active life. We specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect bone density and mineral metabolism.
Our services for metabolic bone disorders include:
Osteoporosis: Advanced screening, diagnosis, and treatment to prevent fractures.
Vitamin D Deficiency: Evaluation and management to optimize bone health.
Fracture Risk Assessment: Personalized plans to reduce your risk of bone fractures.
Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases fracture risk—especially hip and spine—leading to pain, disability and loss of independence. Global data show a substantial lifetime fracture risk and a growing burden with ageing populations. Evidence-based care covers bone-density testing, fracture-risk assessment, vitamin D and calcium optimization, fall prevention, and medications when indicated per endocrine/osteoporosis society guidance. Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets in children and osteomalacia (bone pain, muscle weakness) in adults; guidance emphasizes appropriate dosing and awareness of toxicity with excessive supplementation.
