Bone check-up packages are often recommended for people at risk of developing osteoporosis, a disorder that weakens bones and increases the chances of fractures. Risk factors for osteoporosis include low bone density, low body weight, a family history of fractures or previous fractures, a sedentary lifestyle, and long-term use of steroids and medications.
The bone check-up package includes Blood tests that can help identify underlying bone health conditions, such as vitamin D and calcium deficiency. Doctor consultation helps assess posture, gait, and muscle strength, which can affect bone health. Doctors may also suggest bone mineral density tests to measure bone density and evaluate the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Bone check-ups may help to detect bone infections, rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic bone diseases such as rickets, osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism, and many others, etc.
No, there are no significant risks associated with a bone checkup package. The tests included in the package are non-invasive and safe.
To improve your quality of life and prevent bone problems from developing, it's crucial to get checked for them. It might be harmful to your health to only visit the doctor when you are ill, especially if the problem is already severe.
