Osteoporosis Care
1. Minimally-invasive treatments for spine painful spine fracture:
- Vertebroplasty
- Kyphoplasty
2. Reclast
Reclast is a once a year IV infusion for patients who cannot tolerate oral osteoporosis medications and patients who have had a complication or osteoporosis despite oral medications (such as developed a fragility fracture of the spine or hip while taking oral medications)
3. DEXA
Physicians at the Utah Vascular clinic are experts in bone density testing, and read DEXA scans from multiple locations in the Salt Lake valley.
4. Segmental Pressure Measurements
We at the Utah Vascular Clinic are experts at performing Segmental Pressure measurements; a test that measures the blood pressures in the legs to make sure there is normal blood flow. The test usually requires about three quarters of an hour and is non-invasive and virtually painless.
