Bone Health
Dr Kasi Subbiah provides specialist assessment and management of bone and mineral conditions, ensuring comprehensive care for your skeletal wellness.
Specialist bone assessment
Bone health assessment considers fracture history, family history, menopause or low sex hormones, steroid exposure, nutrition, alcohol, smoking, falls and medical conditions that affect bone. Blood tests and DEXA findings are interpreted together rather than relying on one number alone.
Treatment and fracture prevention
Management may include adequate calcium from food, vitamin D when indicated, weight-bearing and resistance exercise, falls prevention and prescription treatment for people at sufficient fracture risk. Treatment choice depends on kidney function, dental considerations, pregnancy plans, previous fractures and individual benefits and risks.
UK-wide video consultations
History, DEXA results and treatment options can usually be reviewed securely by video. Examination, blood tests and imaging are arranged locally where needed. New severe back pain, loss of height or a suspected fracture requires prompt assessment.
