Bone density tests at the Sugden Sports Centre
30 Sep 2016
Have your fracture risk assessed and find out how to increase your chances of having healthy bones for life
The Sugden Sports Centre will be hosting a day of bone density screening on Tuesday, 11 October. The test costs £30 and you can pay at the end of the appointment by cash or cheque. Appointments last about 15 minutes.
Tracey will assess your bone density and fracture risk using a machine called a ‘Quantative Ultrasound Scanner’ or ‘QUS’. The test measures the bone density in your heel, and is very useful for assessing your risk of fracturing (breaking) your legs, arms, hips and wrists – common fracture sites for sufferers of osteoporosis. The machine is safe, painless, and has no side effects.
After the test is completed, your results will be printed off and explained to you. There will also be time for you to ask questions, if you have any. Along with your results and explanation, you will receive an information pack with evidence-based nutrition, exercise and lifestyle advice to enable you to safeguard yourself against the condition, greatly enhancing your chances of having strong and healthy bones for life!
