At XBody Health & Wellness in Wayne, NJ, we’re dedicated to supporting women through every stage of life, including menopause. As October marks Menopause Awareness Month, we want to shed light on the changes women experience during this time and offer solutions to help manage symptoms. We’re also highlighting the critical connection between menopause and osteoporosis, and how our advanced bone density screening, the Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (R.E.M.S) Echolight Ultrasound Bone Density Scan, can detect and prevent this silent disease.
Understanding Menopause: A Natural Transition
Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. It’s marked by hormonal changes that can cause a range of symptoms, from hot flashes and mood swings to sleep disturbances and weight gain. While the experience varies from person to person, these symptoms can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life.
XBody Health & Wellness provides individualized wellness programs to help manage these symptoms. We help women traverse menopause with confidence and ease by combining holistic therapies, nutrition counseling, and personalized exercise plans.
The Hidden Risk: Menopause & Osteoporosis
One of the lesser-known but serious risks associated with menopause is osteoporosis. As estrogen levels decline, bone density can decrease, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because many people don’t realize they have it until they suffer a break or fracture. Symptoms of osteoporosis may include:
- Back pain
- Loss of height
- Fractures (especially of the hip, wrist, or spine)
- Slouching posture
In addition to menopause, other risk factors for osteoporosis include:
- Age: The risk of osteoporosis increases with age.
- Family history: A family history of osteoporosis can increase your risk.
- Diet: A diet low in calcium and vitamin D can contribute to bone loss.
- Lifestyle factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and lack of physical activity can also increase the risk of osteoporosis.
Early Detection with the R.E.M.S.® Echolight Ultrasound Bone Density Scan
Early detection is key to preventing osteoporosis, and that’s where XBody Health & Wellness stands out. We offer the R.E.M.S.® Echolight Ultrasound Bone Density Scan, an advanced bone density scan that provides precise, non-invasive measurements of your bone health. This scan is different from traditional DEXA scans, as it uses ultrasound technology to detect bone fragility without radiation exposure.
Our R.E.M.S.® Echolight Ultrasound Bone Density Scan can detect osteoporosis earlier and more accurately, allowing us to develop a customized treatment plan that can help strengthen your bones and reduce your risk of fractures. Regular screening, especially for postmenopausal women, is vital to maintaining long-term bone health.
