Bone Density
Testing
The Orthopaedic Center of Illinois
offers bone density testing to
determine your risk of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a major public
health threat for 25 million
Americans, 80 percent of whom are
women. Early prevention and early
treatment may help prevent you from
sustaining a fracture and other
problems associated with
osteoporosis. This condition usually
affects women but also can affect 10
percent of the male population.
The bone density test is a painless,
noninvasive procedure in which a
measurement of your bone mineral
density is produced to determine
your risk of osteoporosis. Licensed
and registered x-ray technologists,
who have been specially trained to
perform bone densitometry,
administer this test.
Medicare, as well as most insurance
companies, covers this procedure. A
physician’s order is required for
testing. "Give yourself a break to
prevent a break." For more
information on how to prevent future
fractures or to make an appointment,
call us at our Springfield office at
(217) 862-0624 or (877) 862-0624.
X-ray Department
OCI has a convenient in-house
radiology department which allows
our doctors to read your x-ray at
the time of your appointment.
EMG Services
In our electrodiagnostic suite,
nerve conduction studies and
electromyography (EMG) can be used
to assess nerve health. This allows
the doctor to assess potential areas
of nerve injury, such as the neck,
back, or carpal tunnel. |
