The DEXA scan (Bone Density Testing) is a digital scanning system that is completely painless and takes just minutes to perform. Once the scan is complete, the information is available to referring physicians through our electronic records system.

Everyone age 50+ should consider getting a baseline DEXA scan. For men, a DEXA becomes necessary when your healthcare provider determines you have specific medical reasons for completing a scan. Typically, men do not experience an accelerated decline of density because they have testosterone hormones and do not experience menopause.

All women 65+ should have a bone density test. Anyone 50+ who breaks a bone should consider measuring their bone density.
