The Bone Health Clinic at Mercy Orthopedic Associates was developed to help patients understand and improve their bone health while minimizing their risk for fractures. We provide patients with individualized plans for improving bone health that incorporate aspects of diet, supplements, exercise, fall prevention, and home safety. We facilitate comprehensive evaluation with bone mineral density scans (DEXA) and laboratory testing. We also initiate and manage treatment with medications when necessary. Our goal is to prevent bone fractures and to help our patients live longer, more independent, and higher quality lives at home.
