Osteoporosis Clinic
At Health+Diabetes, we run a comprehensive clinical outpatient service which can be delivered through a ‘one-stop' approach. In partnership with Women's Diagnostic imaging, we have the most up-to-date bone densitometer which allows, in addition, rapid measurement of the spine to check for unidentified vertebral fractures.
At a single visit, osteoporosis risk-assessment is performed through a detailed questionnaire and bone density measurement. After the consultation, when the scans are interpreted, the results are explained and, where necessary, further investigations carried out. A treatment plan is then discussed and administered.![]()
As such, we deliver a unique, all-encompassing clinical service run by dedicated experts, backed up by a state-of-the-art scanner which provides information over and above that usually obtained on routine bone density scanning, (i.e. the identification of unsuspected vertebral fractures). The monitoring of bone turnover and response to treatment is done through highly specialised biochemical tests with treatment being tailor-made for an individual's requirement.
