Your Bone Health Journey at OrthoNC

A personalized approach to stronger bones, from evaluation through ongoing care.

Screen & Evaluation

Begin with a REMS scan and a visit with OrthoNC’s bone health specialist. Additional lab work may be recommended to identify causes of bone loss. Either may come first.

Treat

Receive an individualized bone health plan, which may include medication when appropriate, along with nutrition and lifestyle guidance.

Strength

Support strength, balance, and mobility through services such as bioDensity and Power Plate when appropriate.

Follow Up

Monitor your progress through ongoing care, follow-up visits, and repeat bone density scans as recommended.

All women over the age of 65 and men over the age of 70 should have a bone density test.

What Is REMS?

REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) is a safe, non-invasive imaging test that uses ultrasound technology to assess bone strength and quality. It can help identify patients at risk for low bone density and osteoporosis, allowing for earlier intervention and a more personalized treatment plan.
