Osteoporosis Risk Assessment for Women Osteoporosis is a disease that slowly weakens bones until they break easily. More than 10 million Americans are affected by osteoporosis, with women four times more likely to develop osteoporosis than men.

Osteoporosis - Bone Densitometry

More than 10 million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, a disease characterized by weak, porous bones. Because osteoporosis is a “silent” disease, you may not experience symptoms of bone fragility until a fracture occurs.

SMMC can help diagnose osteoporosis with a painless bone density test that measures bone mass at the hip, spine and wrist. Ask your physician about scheduling your bone density scan at the Scenic Mountain Mammography & Bone Densitometry Center, at 1501 W. Eleventh Place in Big Spring. Call 432-264-0602 to learn more.
