Osteoporosis Evaluation and Natural Therapies for Women&Men
*On site BMD since 1993
*Dr. Schultz does all of her own BMD's. Why leave this important testing to a tech?
----- Are you concerned about your bones or you don't want to use Bisphosphonates but are not sure what to do? Come and see us. We have been evaluating bones and building bone density before Bisphosphonates.

Dr. Schultz was the first doctor in Northeast Georgia with an in-office BONE DENSITY machine. She started offering Bone Densities as routine evaluations for OptimalAging Strategies in 1993.  She not only does the bone density herself, but also prescribes the therapy to help correct any defect that is found. In most patients, Dr. Schultz has been building bone WITHOUT the use of "designer drugs" for the last 18 years.  Bone conservation is more than a pill. It's a commitment on the part of the patient and physician.
