  Osteoporosis affects 1.4 million Canadians. Bone Density testing utilizes a Clinical Bone sonometer, an ultrasound machine that scans the heel for bone weakness. Results are produced in 10 seconds, indicating a low, medium or high risk for developing osteoporosis. Based on the results, the Certified Health Professional, can provide individualized recommendations on diet, exercise and lifestyle changes or possible referral to your doctor for more detailed testing. The procedure meets the clinical standards of practice across Canada. We Care can set up a customized, cost effective clinic at your workplace, or testing can be arranged on an individual basis.
