Echolight Bone Density Scan

Modern medicine has yet to create a crystal ball that can predict future health problems, but it has created useful tests and screenings that can provide a roadmap. These “maps” are tools that let patients know which diseases are most likely to present challenges to their health. This is where internal medicine is brought in. A bone density scan is an important tool in determining your risk of developing osteoporosis.


Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when bones become brittle and/or your body makes too little bone. This weakens them, making them more likely to break. In serious cases, something as simple as sneezing can cause minor fractures. 


Osteoporosis also causes several complications, including:

  • Serious hip fractures that can cause disability
  • Spinal compression fractures. These occur when your vertebrae weaken and crumble.
  • Severe back pain
  • Hunched posture
