Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones, making them more fragile, porous, and causing them to lose density and strength, making them more prone to fractures. This occurs because bone density decreases, meaning the bones lose calcium and other essential minerals. This condition is often referred to as a “silent disease” because it progresses without noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs.
Dr. Rebull, specialist in Internal and General Medicine at CreuBlanca and expert in Osteoporosis, shares in this video what this condition is, its causes, risk factors, and how to prevent it.
Detecting osteoporosis before it causes fractures is essential. At CreuBlanca, we offer 3D or volumetric densitometry, an advanced diagnostic tool that allows us to measure bone density quickly, painlessly, and with great precision.
In this video, Dr. Rebull explains what this test consists on and how our advanced technology enables more precise diagnoses and personalized treatments depending on the type of bone affected.
