Osteoporosis means ‘porous bones’. It is a condition of the skeleton characterised by low bone mass and a change in architecture of the bone.

Osteoporosis renders bones fragile. Increases the risk of low impact fractures, especially in the wrist, spine and hip. Often goes undiagnosed! Osteoporosis is on the increase in our society, now affecting 1 in 3 post menopausal women. It has been referred to as the ‘silent epidemic’.

Thornbury Chiropractic Clinic is offering an Osteoporosis assessment where all aspects of osteoporosis risk are discussed and an ultrasound heel scan is performed. A detailed explanation of the results is given and if necessary a report is sent to your GP.
