Accurate measurement of bone density is often neglected, but extremely important, diagnostic tool. Thinning of the bones, known as osteoporosis, is a condition that affects all of us as the years go by.
Whereas most facilities will obtain only two or three density readings, we refer you to St Joseph Mercy Hospital where a much more thorough test is performed with at least 6 separate measurements. Especially important is the lateral view of the lumbar spine, which measures specifically the density of the spinal vertebral bodies.
At Oakland Orthopedic, we are committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care with the latest advancements in orthopedic treatments. Whether you need relief from chronic pain, assistance with a sports injury, or a joint replacement, our expert team is here to help you regain mobility and improve your quality of life.
