Primary Care

Bone density testing is a preventive, non-invasive imaging exam that quickly measures the strength and density of your bones. It helps detect osteoporosis or low bone mass—conditions that increase the risk of fractures. Commonly recommended for older adults or individuals with risk factors like family history or long-term steroid use, this test enables early diagnosis and personalized care plans to protect and maintain bone health.

What Is Bone Density Testing and Why Is It Important at Garduño Family Medicine in Plano, TX?

At Garduño Family Medicine in Plano, TX, we offer bone density testing as part of our comprehensive primary care services to help detect early signs of osteoporosis and assess fracture risk. This non-invasive test, often recommended for women over 65 and men over 70—or earlier for those with risk factors—measures bone strength and helps guide treatment decisions for maintaining bone health. By identifying bone loss early, we can implement lifestyle changes, nutritional support, or medications to prevent serious complications. Our goal is to help you stay strong, active, and protected through every stage of life.
