Osteoporosis is a disease that has no clinical manifestation - i.e. there is no pain, discomfort or other signs to alert a person before he suffers a fracture.
According to the data, at least 21% of women and 6% of men over the age of 50 suffer from osteoporosis, and in the age group over 80, this percentage increases to over 70%. This is incredibly associated with a high risk of fractures, immobility, disability and long-term pain that impairs quality of life. Unfortunately, statistics also show increased mortality in the year of a significant fracture.
The most common fractures are in the vertebrae (a source of chronic pain, reduced height and immobility), the bones of the hip (requiring surgery, joint replacement due to bone wear, slow healing and months of rehabilitation) and the bones of the wrist and hand, highly disrupting our daily activities.
Preventica shares the idea of prevention of diseases in their earliest stage.
For this purpose, we have built a team and a program for early detection and treatment of osteoporosis.
We begin with an assessment of all risk factors that can lead to a rapid progression of the disease (smoking, lifestyle, medication intake, heredity, physical activity, diet, etc.) and a subsequent examination by a specialist.
The "Gold Standard" examination of bone density - DEXA with the latest generation apparatus of a leading brand manufacturer is then carried out. Thanks to the new technologies at our disposal, we accurately assess bone density, the degree of bone degradation, body composition, we provide information on the probability of a fracture over a period of 10 years, at the lowest possible level of radiation exposure.
We conduct specialized laboratory tests that monitor the treatment and bone healing processes.
Our team of specialists with extensive experience and expertise - endocrinologist, nutritionist, kinesitherapist - prepare an individual plan for prevention, treatment, diet and exercise regime.
Together with you, we will discuss the subsequent strategy and track the effect over time.
Our coordinators will make sure that we plan and conduct all the necessary research and consultations in a minimally short period of time, tailored to your needs and requirements.
