Osteoporosis Clinic
Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because bone loss occurs without symptoms. The first symptom is often a fracture. By that time, a person has often lost 30% or more of his / her bone mass. If evaluated at an early stage, patients can initiate prevention and treatment prior to the clinical manifestations of this silent disease. As a part of our endeavor to prevent Osteoporosis, our goal is to evaluate patients at an early stage to prevent the complications of osteoporosis, and treat patients at the earliest possible stage to prevent additional disease manifestations.
The osteoporosis clinic treats patients with osteoporosis, disorders of calcium metabolism, and other metabolic bone diseases. The center has a state of equipments which allows the physicians to evaluate the degree of bone loss, to diagnose osteoporosis and the risk for future fracture.
