DEXA Bone Health Scan
Osteoporosis is often called the 'silent disease' because it weakens bones without warning signs, increasing fracture risk as bones become increasingly fragile. With millions affected globally, especially those over 50, early detection is crucial. A DEXA Hip and Spine Scan provides the most accurate assessment of bone strength and fracture risk, enabling proactive protection of your long-term mobility and independence.
Why Get an Osteoporosis DEXA Scan?
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scanning precisely measures bone mineral density, enabling early osteoporosis detection before fractures develop. This quick, painless, and completely non-invasive procedure targets the hip and spine, the critical areas where osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur, giving you vital insights to protect your bone health.

Who Should Get a DEXA Scan?
DEXA scanning is particularly valuable for adults over 50 seeking to monitor their bone health proactively, or those with a family history of osteoporosis. We also recommend screening if you've experienced fractures from minor falls, or manage conditions that impact bone density; including rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances. If you're taking bone-affecting medications like steroids, or currently undergoing osteoporosis treatment, regular DEXA scans provide essential monitoring to track your bone health progress and treatment effectiveness.
DEXA Body & Bone Scan
Alongside your hip and spine osteoporosis scan, you can include a DEXA body composition scan to assess:
- Full body composition breakdown
- Body fat percentage
- Lean muscle analysis and distribution
- Visceral fat measurement
This additional data provides a well-rounded view of your health and can help tailor fitness and nutrition strategies to improve overall well-being.
