The Fracture Prevention Clinic provides thorough bone health assessments, including DXA scans and lab value analysis to understand bone loss reasons. X-rays are done for pain complaints to rule out fractures, and whole-body scans assess muscle, bone, and fat composition.

We are the only team in San Antonio offering vertebral body tethering for adolescent scoliosis treatment. This innovative procedure involves securing a durable cord, known as a tether, to the spine, encouraging spinal alignment as the patient matures. Unlike fusion procedures, vertebral body tethering preserves spinal flexibility, allowing patients to maintain some range of motion. If you suspect you or your child may be dealing with scoliosis, don't hesitate to contact us at 210-202-4300.
