October is Bone and Joint Health Awareness Month, and what better way to celebrate than by getting a DEXA scan? Low bone mineral density can put you at an increased risk for osteoporosis, which can cause fractures that can be painful and debilitating. A DEXA scan can help you to identify your risk for osteoporosis and take steps to protect your bones. If you're over the age of 50, have a family history of osteoporosis, or have certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes, you should talk to your doctor about getting a DEXA scan. Schedule your DEXA scan today at AVALA Imaging Center! avala.com/imaging | 985-801-6216 #avalahealth #BoneAndJointHealthAwarenessMonth #DEXAScan #BoneHealth #Osteoporosis #imaging
