Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis Care from Top Rheumatologists in New Jersey

Providing Dedicated Bone Health Treatment to Patients Across South & Central Jersey & Philadelphia

Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates (ARBDA) has provided specialized osteoporosis care to patients in New Jersey and the greater Philadelphia area for more than 50 years. Every physician on our team has completed fellowship training in rheumatology and is board-certified or board-eligible. You’re seen by a trained rheumatologist, not a general practitioner managing bone disease on the side. 

We diagnose, treat, and medically manage osteoporosis alongside related autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, with personalized plans built around your specific diagnosis, lifestyle, and medical history. New patients and second opinions are welcome, and copay assistance is available.

To schedule an osteoporosis evaluation or request a second opinion from Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates, call (856) 424-5005 today!

Should You Get Tested for Osteoporosis?

General guidance recommends that all women age 65 or older and men over the age of 70 be screened for osteoporosis. Screening is also appropriate for patients with certain other risk factors.

We recommend osteoporosis testing in cases involving:

  • Long-term corticosteroid use (such as prednisone)
  • Prior fragility fracture(s)
  • Family history of osteoporosis
  • Low body weight
  • A history of smoking
  • Excessive alcohol use or caffeine consumption
  • Estrogen deficiency or early menopause
  • Hormone therapy or steroid medications
  • Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or other inflammatory conditions

The earlier osteoporosis is detected, the sooner you can gain access to professional support and treatments to help slow its progression and prevent unnecessary fractures.

Diagnosis and Treatment at Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates

The gold standard for measuring bone mineral density is the Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. This test is quick, painless, and low-radiation. DEXA examines the areas of the body most prone to fracture. For more than 30 years, it has been the standard tool for both initial screening and for tracking whether treatment is working through serial scans over time.

Once our diagnostic professionals have completed their assessment using DEXA and other clinically proven tools, your rheumatologist will discuss your lifestyle, diet, and other medical conditions with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses both low bone mineral density and fracture risk. No two plans look the same because no two patients arrive with the same combination of history, risk factors, and goals.

Treatment can range from calcium and vitamin D supplementation, foundational to nearly every plan, to prescription medications. Some patients benefit from physical therapy focused on strengthening surrounding muscles and improving balance to reduce fall risk. And for patients who require infusion therapy, ARBDA’s IDYLLIC Infusion Treatment Centers are located within our offices, so you won’t need a hospital stay. Every infusion is supervised by an on-site medical professional, and in-office treatment costs substantially less than hospital-based infusions.

Meet Our Osteoporosis Treatment Team

ARBDA was established in 1974 and is one of the largest independent rheumatology practices in New Jersey and the greater Philadelphia region. We offer full-spectrum bone health care, including diagnostic imaging, therapeutic injections, oral medication, infusion therapies, treatment for related conditions, and long-term monitoring, all without referrals to outside facilities for most services.

Leading our osteoporosis care is Dr. Adrienne Hollander, Managing Partner of ARBDA, a certified clinical densitometrist and former Medical Director of Virtua’s Osteoporosis and Bone Health Center. A certified clinical densitometrist has passed a credentialing examination administered by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) and is trained to interpret bone density results with a level of precision that goes beyond standard imaging review. Dr. Hollander has also served as President of the Philadelphia Rheumatism Society and was recognized for her care and expertise by multiple local publications. When you come to Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates for osteoporosis care, you’re evaluated by a physician with dedicated training and recognition in this field.

Questions About Your Rheumatology Care

What is rheumatology?
Rheumatology is the branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the joints, bones, muscles, and immune system. Rheumatologists manage conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, osteoporosis, gout, and more than 100 other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
How is a rheumatologist different from a general practitioner?
After internal medicine residency, rheumatologists complete two to three additional years of fellowship training in diseases of the joints and immune system. Every physician at Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates completed this training. A general practitioner does not have this specialized background.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring any prior lab results, imaging studies, or records from your primary care physician or previous specialists. A list of current medications is also helpful. Your physician will review everything before the examination and use it to inform your diagnostic workup.
How does in-office infusion therapy work?
Biologic medications for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are sometimes administered intravenously rather than by pill or injection. Our IDYLLIC Infusion Treatment Centers provide this treatment inside our offices with a medical professional supervising every session, at substantially lower cost than hospital-based infusion.
Is in-office ultrasound the same as radiology imaging?
Diagnostic ultrasound in our offices provides real-time images of joints, tendons, and soft tissue without radiation. Unlike a radiology referral, every scan at Arthritis, Rheumatic & Bone Disease Associates is interpreted by a physician with specific rheumatology training, so findings are evaluated in the context of your condition, not in isolation.
Do you coordinate with my primary care physician?
Yes. We collaborate closely with referring and primary care physicians, sharing records and findings so your care stays consistent across providers. You won't need to repeat your history or serve as the messenger between offices.
