01 Osteoporosis
A chronic but asymptomatic medical condition that can affect YOUNG and OLD, in which the bones become brittle and fragile due to low bone density and destructed bone microarchitecture.
02 Osteopenia
An abnormal bone density measurement that will predispose you to fractures and is completely asymptomatic until you break a bone. Act NOW, before you break
03 Osteomalacia
A condition that can affect individuals of any age, in which bones become soft, deformed and easily break due to abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. Find out if you have it!
04 Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic disorder that mostly presents in childhood but often is asymptomatic until adult age. The genetic defect is responsible for abnormal collagen production and results in multiple fractures that occur without apparent cause. Find out if you are at risk.
05 Abnormal Bone Density
Bone density test (DXA) measures your bone mineral density at certain sites and compares it with standard young bone mineral density as well as with the bone mineral density of individuals your age. There are many causes of abnormal bone density. Do you know if your bone density is normal?
06 Fibrous Dysplasia
This abnormal tissue can affect one one bone or many bones and will not only weaken that affected area but also stimulates abnormal bone growth which can produce pain or impair normal function.
07 Parathyroid Disorders
Parathyroid disorders lead to abnormal levels of calcium in the blood that can cause brittle bones, kidney stones, fatigue, weakness, fractures, and other problems.
08 Thyroid Disorders
There are many abnormalities in the function of the butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck (thyroid) that can disturb your health. Symptoms like fatigue, abnormal weight gain or weight loss, “foggy mind” and trouble concentrating, as well as “feeling a lump” in the middle of your neck can be due to many different thyroid disorders. Find out how to restore your thyroid function back to normal.
09 Thyroid and Parathyroid Ultrasound
Dr Stanciu is certified in thyroid, parathyroid and neck ultrasound. This can be easily done in the office by Dr Stanciu herself.
10 Vitamin D Deficiency
No matter what your age is, if the level of vitamin D in your body is low, your bones will not be mineralized and will be soft, fragile or misshapen. Vitamin D is important for ALL cells in your body and insufficient levels are associated with many disorders like cancers, infections and others.
11 Hypophosphatasia HPP
A rare (but not so rare) genetic disorder characterized by impaired mineralization (“calcification”) of bones and teeth. Many adults don’t know they have this condition, which will predispose to many fractures without trauma, but also many other symptoms like diffuse body pain, headaches, muscle weakness, fatigue, kidney stones, join pains, teeth problems. If you experience any of these symptoms, call and make an appointment. Life-saving treatment is available!
12 X-linked Hypophosphatemia XLH
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is an inherited genetic disorder characterized by low levels of phosphorus in the blood due to an abnormal process in the kidneys. This will cause loss of phosphorus in the urine leading to soft, weak bones (rickets). XLH is usually diagnosed in childhood but many adults are never diagnosed until they break a bone or they are found to have and abnormal bone density. This condition is now treatable so you can enjoy strong bones!
13 Tumor Induced Osteomalacia TIO
A rare, paraneoplastic form of renal phosphate wasting that results in very low blood phosphorus, severe generalized weakness and body pain. Sometimes a small tumor is identified and removed but treatment is available and will restore your health even when the tumor is not found. Find out how!
