Finding a healthcare provider

Finding a healthcare provider who is knowledgeable about osteoporosis can be difficult. There is no physician specialty solely dedicated to osteoporosis, nor is there a certification program for health professionals who treat the disease. Over time, some doctors in various medical specialties have gained the knowledge and expertise to diagnose and treat people with osteoporosis. Note: There is a Bone Mineral Density Testing Certification Program for healthcare professionals.
