Welcome to Tri-County Primary Care! Today, we’re highlighting the importance of bone density screening and how it supports long-term health. This simple, non-invasive test measures the strength of your bones and helps detect osteoporosis early—a condition that can weaken bones and increase the risk of fractures.
As we age, the risk of osteoporosis naturally increases, especially for women going through menopause. In addition, certain chronic conditions and medications can also impact bone health. That’s why Dr. Larry Kilby and our internal medicine team recommend including bone density screening as part of your Medicare Annual Wellness Exam.
Bone health is an important part of overall wellness, and discussing topics like bone density during your physical exam allows us to identify potential concerns early. With early detection, we can create a personalized care plan to help maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of fractures.
Don’t wait for a fracture to take action. Stay proactive about your bone health by scheduling a bone density screening at Tri-County Primary Care today.
