Calcium & Bone Disorders
Our bone health program addresses calcium disorders, osteoporosis, and metabolic bone diseases. We offer bone density testing, vitamin D management, and specialized treatments to maintain strong, healthy bones.
Comprehensive Diagnosis and Evaluation
- Bone Density Testing (DEXA Scan): Assessment of bone strength to detect osteoporosis or osteopenia.
- Calcium and Vitamin D Testing: Blood tests to measure levels critical for bone health and calcium regulation.
- Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Testing: Evaluation of parathyroid function for conditions like hyperparathyroidism.
- Advanced Imaging: X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to identify fractures, bone abnormalities, or other related issues.
Management of Common Conditions
- Osteoporosis: Preventive care and advanced treatments including bisphosphonates, denosumab, or anabolic agents.
- Hyperparathyroidism: Diagnosis and management of excessive PTH production with coordination for minimally invasive surgery when needed.
- Hypocalcemia: Treatment of low calcium levels with tailored calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
- Paget's Disease of Bone: Specialized care for abnormal bone remodeling, including medications and symptom management.
- Vitamin D Deficiency: Identification and treatment to optimize bone health and prevent complications.
Personalized Treatment Plans
- Lifestyle Counseling: Guidance on nutrition, exercise, and fall prevention to promote strong bones.
- Medication Management: Careful selection and monitoring of treatments to ensure effectiveness and minimize side effects.
- Fracture Prevention Programs: Strategies to reduce fracture risk for patients with advanced bone loss.
Advanced Treatment Options
- Infusion Therapies: Administration of medications like zoledronic acid for severe osteoporosis.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Referrals for vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty to address spinal fractures.
- Surgical Coordination: Expert collaboration for parathyroid or orthopedic surgeries when needed.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
- Regular Follow-Ups: Monitoring bone density, calcium levels, and treatment progress.
- Education and Empowerment: Helping patients understand their condition and how to protect bone health.
- Comprehensive Risk Assessments: Identifying and addressing factors contributing to bone loss or calcium imbalances.
