We have something new, and very exciting here at H2O Health Hydration Oasis! Let us introduce you to our gold standard – DEXA Scan! The DEXA Scan is now available at our Third Ward location. It provides you with real-time, head-to-toe results to aid you in your health journey. No need to have a doctor’s referral or wait in a waiting room at your local hospital. The DEXA scan allows us to determine the best approach to care for your body, moving forward.
What is the DEXA Scan?
The DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray-Absorptiometry) scan is a one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art medical imaging test that uses very low levels of x-rays. The DEXA can measure a person’s bone density (strength) – it measures the mineral content in certain areas of the body. This test also has the ability to measure your body composition such as muscle mass and body fat. All three factors are important as a person ages.
How Does Your Body Benefit From the Scan?
When the test is being performed, you will receive real results as to how your body is doing on the inside, something we don’t always think about. The DEXA scan measures your body’s bone density along with body mass and body fat which is important to understand when it comes to figuring out what is best for your body. Maybe you find out you have more body fat than you initially thought, this DEXA scan allows you to understand how much there is, and from there you’re about to take action to improve your day-to-day life.
Who is this scan for?
Anyone who is interested in understanding their body at a deeper level. The goal of the DEXA scan is to see where your body is NOW so you can create the changes for a better future. It’s important to take action now so you’re the best you can be in 20-30 years. As we stated before, the DEXA scan can help anyone with their current health concerns/ needs. The scan can be for individuals who are at an increased age wanting to know their bone density due to many losing bone mass over time or fitness enthusiasts who are looking to see where they can improve in their practice.
