CHECK YOUR BONES DEAR ME…
If your bone density is lower than normal for your age, you’re at greater risk of breaking a bone, so ask your doctor about having a bone density scan, sometimes called a Dexa. It will measure your bone mineral density and bone loss and help diagnose bone-related diseases, such as osteoporosis, which affects 1.36 million Australians. Your doctor is available for in-person consultations, so call today.
