Bone Health - Osteoporosis Center

The Osteoporosis Center at St. Luke's Hospital focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. The center offers bone density testing and consultations with a physician who specializes in osteoporosis and endocrinology.

A silent condition...
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. There are no outward symptoms until a fracture occurs. Early diagnosis, prevention and treatment are key in preventing further damage and bone loss.

The Osteoporosis Center at St. Luke's Hospital offers:

Bone mineral density (BMD) testing
Consultation with an osteoporosis specialist
