Healthy Bones Clinic

Are you one of the 2 in 3 adults with low bone density?

In Australia, it is estimated that over 66% of people over 50 years of age have poor bone health¹. Osteopenia describes a loss of bone mineral density and osteoporosis occurs when the body loses too much bone mineral. Both are described as ‘silent’ because deterioration of bone tissue happens with no symptoms and is often diagnosed after a fracture occurs. You could be at risk and not even know it.

The WholeLife Pharmacy Healthy Bones Clinic hopes to help identify people who are at risk of osteoporosis using a clinical assessment tool and questionnaire. A trained nurse will be available to talk to you about bone health, including the following:

Screening and Assessment – what is your risk?
Preventative Care – how can you take care of your bone health?
Referrals – do you need a bone density scan?
Options for Continued Care – how can your WholeLife team support you?
