Bone and Joint Health Screening Program
The UPMC Magee Bone and Joint Center, Wellness Center for Bone and Joint Health, and AMD3 Foundation have joined forces to provide FREE AND COMPLETE CARE for all of your bone and joint related needs. We currently feature 5 types of screenings but plan to implement more in the near future!
Bone Density Screening
Osteopenia and osteoporosis - two silent diseases that increase your risk for dangerous and painful fractures - can be caught early with a bone density screening. Bone density screening is a painless, non-invasive ultrasound of your wrist.
Grip Strength Testing
An indicator of muscle strength and your general health, grip strength is measured by squeezing a handheld device and then comparing your score to your peers. Low grip strength can be an indicator of muscle loss, loss of independence, and a higher risk of certain neurologic diseases and falling.
Balance and Mobility Testing
Falls are the leading cause of injury and fractures among adults. Falling once doubles your chances of falling again. We test your balance and mobility by evaluating how you perform simple movements like walking and standing from a seated position.
Nutritional Assessment: Food is Medicine
Food is medicine for many bone and joint conditions and can reduce pain and build stronger bones. A questionnaire and a discussion with the Wellness Center will help you understand your nutritional health and weight management strategies.
Knee/Hip X-rays
Do you suffer from knee or hip arthritis pain? 1 in 4 adults suffer from arthritis. Our portable X-ray machine will quickly and painlessly show degradation of bone and cartilage.
