Bone Health
Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group
Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group is redefining bone health with the launch of our enhanced Bone Health Program, now featuring Echolight REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) technology—an advanced, radiation-free solution that uses ultrasound-based signals to assess bone mineral density and fracture risk before problems occur. With nearly 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over 50 expected to experience an osteoporotic fracture, early detection is critical to preventing life-altering injuries and avoiding missed opportunities for care. A quick, non-invasive REMS scan provides clear, early insight into your bone health—creating a foundation for you and our provider to work together on a personalized plan to optimize bone strength and reduce fracture risk before issues arise.
Osteoporosis Management
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weaker and more prone to fractures. Management focuses on protecting bone strength, reducing fracture risk, and slowing further bone loss through individualized lifestyle, monitoring, and treatment strategies.
Osteopenia Management
Osteopenia refers to lower-than-normal bone density that has not progressed to osteoporosis. Appropriate management can help maintain bone strength and reduce the likelihood of further bone loss and fractures.
Bone Density Testing
Bone density testing, commonly performed with a DEXA scan, measures bone mineral density and helps identify osteopenia or osteoporosis. The results can also help evaluate bone health and guide decisions about monitoring and treatment.
Fracture Risk Assessment
Fracture risk assessment evaluates factors that may increase the likelihood of a bone fracture, including bone density and individual health factors. Understanding your risk can help guide appropriate prevention, monitoring, and treatment.
