Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
Osteopenia or osteoporosis often shows no symptoms in the early stages, but as bones weaken, they become more prone to fractures even from minor impacts, especially in the elderly or individuals with risk factors such as calcium deficiency, prolonged steroid use, or a family history of the condition.
The Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test is a method used to assess bone health and screen for osteoporosis, brittle bones, or fractures from the early stages, especially in the spine, hips, and other joints.
Signs of Osteoporosis
Chronic Back Pain
Pain is usually felt in the lower or middle back, with a deep, persistent ache even without a clear cause.
Hunched Back or Curved Spine
The spine may collapse, causing a change in the alignment of the bones, which may appear as a forward hump or abnormal curvature.
Height Loss
Height loss of more than 2–3 centimeters within a few years could be due to spinal compression or collapse.
Easy Bone Fractures
Bones can break from minor impacts such as tripping, falling, or lifting light objects, resulting in fractures or breaks.
Accurate Diagnosis
At S Spine & Joint Hospital, we use the Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test, which is an international standard for accurate results. It can assess both the spine and joints and evaluate potential future risks.
Treatment Technique
We stand out with our signature S-Quality treatment standard, which consists of three key components:
Specialized Orthopedic Surgeons
🎯 Trained under hospital-standard protocols to ensure precision and safety.
Skilled Medical Support Team
🎯 With deep knowledge of treatment protocols and strong coordination with physicians to shorten recovery times.
Advanced Specialized Technology
🎯 Designed specifically for spine and joint treatments, including world-class surgical tools. The absence of any one component may compromise treatment efficiency.
ขั้นตอนการรัก ษา
Specialized, cutting-edge technology is designed specifically for spinal and joint treatments, such as state-of-the-art surgical tools from around the world and an open MRI that can adjust angles from lying down to standing. This helps in precise diagnosis and rapid treatment. Missing any of these elements can impact the effectiveness of patient care.
Identifying the Cause
Diagnosis begins with posture-specific X-rays and upright MRI scans to evaluate abnormalities in cervical discs. Physicians combine both sets of images for a highly accurate assessment.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Patients receive guidelines for pre-procedure preparation, such as fasting or disclosing medical history and allergies. A detailed physical examination is also conducted.
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Test
This specialized technique uses low-energy radiation to measure bone density in key areas of the spine and joints. The test takes about 10-15 minutes, where the machine passes radiation through tissues to measure mineral content and bone density, assessing for osteopenia or osteoporosis.
Result Evaluation
After performing the bone mineral density test, the doctor will evaluate the results and explain the risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis. If risks are identified, appropriate care or treatment options will be recommended.
