Protect Your Bone Health with Expert Osteoporosis Screening at Classic Way Family Practice
At Classic Way Family Practice, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive osteoporosis screening, diagnosis, and management to help you maintain strong and healthy bones. Our experienced doctors specialize in recognizing the early signs of osteoporosis and using the latest screening methods to assess your bone health before fractures occur.
Who Should Get Screened?
Osteoporosis often develops silently, with no symptoms until a fracture occurs. That’s why early detection is essential. You may be at risk if you:
Are over 50 years old
Have a family history of osteoporosis
Have experienced low-impact fractures
Are a postmenopausal woman or a man over 70
Have conditions affecting calcium absorption or use long-term steroid medications

At Classic Way Family Practice, we use cutting-edge tools to assess your risk, including:
✅ Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Scans (DEXA scans) – The gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis.
✅ Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX®) – An internationally recognized tool to estimate your risk of fractures within the next 10 years.
✅ Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA) – A quick screening method for individuals of Asian descent.
✅ Garvan Fracture Risk Calculator – An Australian-based tool that helps predict fracture risk.
