Newton Wellesley Orthopedic Associates has a state of the art on-site Hologic Discovery QDR series bone densitometry machine. This osteoporosis assessment machine provides 10 second, low dose x-ray scans of the spine. Many women and men over the age of 50 have at least one vertebral fracture, the majority of which remain undetected as they produce no symptoms such as pain.
NWOA is able to provide a bone density assessment for you in our office. Any physician, including your primary care physician can refer you to NWOA if you wish to undergo this comprehensive, non-invasive and convenient assessment.
