Osteoporosis Assesment at PrestigeGP

We have secured exclusive use of a heel scanner for PrestigeGP clients.

This system, along with a questionnaire, can be use to determine your risk of osteoporosis.

Ultrasound bone scanning is a harmless and up-to-date screening method using sound waves (instead of x-rays). The heel of the foot is used for assessment and the information is important for determining fracture risk. It can detect up to 90% of all patients at risk from osteoporosis and takes about a minute. The Ultrasound Heel Scanner calculates the bone strength and indicates whether the density shows early signs of osteoporosis. It is a fast and harmless test with immediate results, so treatment can be started early if needed.
