Now Offering Vertebral Fracture Assessments!
We are happy to announce that we now offer Vertebral Fracture Assessments (VFA) at select locations. VFA is a tool available on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (bone density) scanners, which detects previous fractures by providing images of the thoracic and lumbar spine to determine vertebral fracture deformities.

Women age > 65 years or men ≥ age 75 years
