Dear Friends of Singapore Sports and Orthopaedic Clinic,
It is my great pleasure to inform you that we are launching our website at http://www.orthopaedicclinic.com.sg/
To celebrate this launch we are offering a special price on a Bone Mineral Density scan (specifically a densitometry or DEXA scan) which measures how much bone you have. This test has become the gold standard for osteoporosis evaluation. The usual price is more than S$250/-, but we are offering a limited number of sponsored scans whereby you need only pay S$130/- for a spine and hip scan with consultation from our orthopaedic specialist.
Some of the symptoms are:
• Bone pain or tenderness
• Fractures with little or no trauma
• Loss of height over time
• Low back pain due to fractures of the spinal bones
• Neck pain due to fractures of the spinal bones
• Stooped posture
Some of the causes are:
• Being confined to a bed or seating at a desk for long periods
• Cushing syndrome
• Excess corticosteroid levels due to ongoing use of medicines for asthma, certain forms of arthritis or skin diseases, and COPD.
• Hyperthyroidism
• Hyperparathyroidism
• Rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions
• Absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
• Drinking large amounts of alcohol
• Early menopause
• Eating disorders
• Family history of osteoporosis
• Low body weight
• Smoking
• Too little calcium in the diet
• Use of certain medications, including steroids and anti-seizure drugs
If you are interested, please call us at (+65) 6471 2694 to make an appointment with us and collect the voucher on the day that you wish the scan to be done. If you have any questions, you may also call me at this number or email me at singapore.orthopaedics@gmail.com
