Several drug
therapies now easily available in the market have been shown to be
clinically effective in slowing down or reversing the bone-loss process.
Leading hospitals in India are well equipped to detect and treat bone loss
in its earliest stages, so as to prevent the disease or lessen its impact.
Doctors in leading hospitals have the expertise for the diagnosis and
treatment of osteoporosis that involves an obective, quantifiable
measurement of the patient's bone mass or bone density.
Advance
technology called the DXA for bone densitometry is available. During a
comprehensive bone evaluation with DXA, the patient lies comfortably still
on a padded table while the DXA unit scans one or more areas, usually the
fractured spine or the hip. The entire process takes only minutes to scan
depending on the number of sites scanned. It involves no injections or
invasive procedure and the patient remains fully clothed.
