Sarah came to Function Bone Health after years of relying solely on DEXA scans for her bone health monitoring. At 58, she had been through menopause for several years and wanted a more comprehensive understanding of her skeletal health.
"I was told by my DEXA that everything was fine," Sarah recalls, "but something didn't feel right. My mother had osteoporosis, and I wanted to be proactive."
The REMS assessment revealed something her previous scans had missed — while her bone density was within normal range, her bone quality scores showed early signs of microarchitectural changes. This is exactly the kind of insight that traditional density-only measurements can overlook.
Armed with this new information, Sarah worked with her healthcare provider to develop a proactive wellness strategy. She adjusted her exercise routine to include more weight-bearing activities and made nutritional changes to support bone health.
"Catching it early gave me the chance to take action before it became a bigger issue. I am so grateful for the team at Function Bone Health."
Six months later, Sarah returned for a follow-up assessment and was pleased to see improvements in her bone quality metrics. She now recommends REMS assessments to all her friends.
