Osteoporosis Screening
Osteoporosis is a disease that results in decreased bone density, or thickness, and therefore attributes to weak and fragile bones. Osteoporosis may also be considered a "silent disease" and if left untreated it can progress painlessly until a bone breaks.

Osteoporosis screening (bone density testing) is a non-invasive procedure that requires a single bare foot and is usually completed in less than one minute. It works by measuring the density of the heel bone using ultrasound. It compares individual results with research-established norms.
