Bone Health Checkup Packages
Bone health is essential for staying active, mobile, and independent throughout life. With age, bones naturally lose strength and density, raising the risk of osteoporosis, fractures, and chronic joint pain. Poor nutrition, hormonal changes, vitamin deficiencies, and a sedentary lifestyle can accelerate bone weakening, often without symptoms until problems become serious.
At Medicover Hospitals, we focus on prevention through our Bone Health Checkup Package. Using advanced diagnostics like DEXA scans, essential blood tests, and personalized consultations, we detect bone loss early, identify risk factors, and provide expert guidance. Our goal is to help you build stronger bones and maintain an active, healthier future.
Why Should You Get a Bone Health Checkup?
Bone problems like osteoporosis, osteopenia and vitamin D deficiency often develop silently, without obvious symptoms. Many people only find out after a fracture or injury that could have been prevented.
A preventive bone health checkup helps you:
- Detect bone weakness early with early detection of bone screening
- Lower your risk of fractures and bone pain
- Make timely lifestyle changes to protect your bones
- Get a clear, personalized plan for better bone health
When Should You Think About Screening?
You should consider an osteoporosis screening package if you have:
- Unexplained or frequent bone fractures
- Chronic back, hip, or joint pain
- Loss of height or stooped posture
- Muscle weakness or fatigue
- Family history of osteoporosis or fractures
- Menopause (for women)
- Long-term use of medications like steroids or anticonvulsants
Even if you feel healthy, early detection of bone screening after age 40 or if you lead a sedentary lifestyle can help prevent future complications.
What Happens During the Bone Health Checkup Packages?
We understand that medical tests can sometimes feel overwhelming, so at Medicover, we've designed our bone health checkup packages to be simple, comfortable and reassuring. Here's what you can expect:
- Warm Welcome & Discussion: Your journey starts with a conversation. Our care team will ask about your health history, lifestyle, and any symptoms you may be experiencing (like joint pain, fractures, or fatigue). This helps us tailor the checkup to your needs.
- Bone Strength Assessment - DEXA Scan: A quick, painless bone density test package that measures the density of your bones (usually at the hip, spine, or forearm). This shows whether your bones are strong, slightly weakened (osteopenia), or at risk of osteoporosis.
- Blood Tests for Bone Nutrition & Hormones: Tests for calcium, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) give us a clear picture of your body's bone-building capacity and mineral balance.
- Personalized Medical Consultation: Once the results are ready, you’ll meet with a specialist who will explain them in clear, simple language. Together, you'll discuss the next steps, whether it's lifestyle advice, diet improvements, supplements, or treatment options.
Throughout the process, our priority is your comfort and clarity. We want you to walk away not just with test results, but with the confidence of knowing how to protect and strengthen your bones for years to come.
