Bone density testing is fast and painless. It requires no injections or invasive procedures. During a test, a woman lies fully clothed on a padded treatment table while the machine scans one or more areas of bone. The entire test takes approximately 20 minutes. Statistics released by the National Osteoporosis Foundation reveal one of every two women past menopause will develop the disease and one out of three will suffer some type of fracture.
Treatment now can help reverse the bone-loss process.
