Individuals with osteoporosis have a higher risk of fractures of the hip, vertebrae and wrist, among others health factors. At Clearwater Medical, we believe it's important for women to understand their risk for osteoporosis and what can be done to prevent or slow the process of this disease.

Through diet and weight-bearing exercise, osteoporosis can be prevented or slowed. Bone Density Screening is the industry gold standard for bone density testing. It is used to detect osteoporosis and other bone disorders. The information the screening provides helps you and your doctor make effective decisions about preventative steps and treatment options.
