A DEXA Scan Can Change Everything
As a long-time sufferer of sciatica, Pamela came to OsteoStrong looking for relief. Now she has faithfully been coming to her sessions ever since.
“I had originally gone to my chiropractor for my sciatica, and after about six to eights months attending OsteoStrong, my sciatica was completely gone and had not come back!”
When Pamela started OsteoStrong, she had no other underlying issue, just sciatica. Since being with OsteoStrong, she notices how it has kept her from having mobility loss. Pamela can still do everything she’s done before with no issue.
In 2009 Pamela was diagnosed with osteoporosis and osteopenia. Her doctor wanted to put her on Fosamax, but she researched the side effects and decided not to take it. After moving to Rapid City in 2017, her chiropractor and health care provider suggested she try OsteoStrong.
Pamela decided to go check out OsteoStrong after finishing her appointment with her doctor.
Once at OsteoStrong, they took her through the intake process, and she started sessions in September. Eighteen months later, when Pamela had a DEXA scan, it returned positive with an 11% increase in her hip.
Pamela faithfully came to OsteoStrong, and it changed everything for her.
“I am pro-science; my philosophy is if I can fix something my body needs help with without taking medications that I don’t know the long-term adverse effects of, I will seek the alternative. I highly recommend OsteoStrong to anyone diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia.”
When you hit a certain age, your doctors usually recommend doing a DEXA to scan your bone density to tell you if you are incurring any bone loss, which can cause fractures that can be cumbersome to experience. Pamela takes precautions because those fractures can be dangerous in the pelvic area, so monitoring the possible bone loss is good.
“If you aren’t taking medicine or not taking any preventive actions, your bone loss will continue and cause bad repercussions a result. OsteoStrong is great. I want you all to come!”
