Protecting Your Bone Health

Concerns about osteoporosis and future bone fractures can be addressed through the bone health program at South Texas Spinal Clinic. Our team provides bone health services designed to assess your risk, identify bone loss, and help you take proactive steps to protect your bones.

Osteoporosis, sometimes called “brittle bone disease,” causes bones to become weaker and more susceptible to fractures. While osteoporosis is more common in women, it can affect men as well. Because bone loss may occur without noticeable symptoms, understanding your risk and identifying osteoporosis early can play an important role in preventing fractures.

A bone density scan, also known as a DEXA scan, measures bone density and can help detect osteoporosis. South Texas Spinal Clinic offers same-day bone density scans as part of our comprehensive approach to evaluating bone health and helping patients reduce their risk of osteoporosis-related fractures.

Bone health services are available at our Huebner Medical Center, Hardy Oak, Toepperwein, and New Braunfels locations.

To schedule a consultation or same-day bone density scan, please call us at (210) 293-3165 or schedule an appointment online.
