A bone density test — also called densitometry or DXA scan — determines whether you have osteoporosis or are at risk of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become more fragile and more likely to break.

In the past, osteoporosis could only be detected after you broke a bone. By that time, however, your bones could be quite weak. A bone density test makes it possible to know your risk of breaking bones before the fact.

A bone density test uses X-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone. A bone density test is a fairly accurate predictor of your risk of fracture.

We offer this important service at a low price to make it affordable and accessible to patients without need of a Doctor's prescription nor insurance.  Knowledge is power.  Knowing your T-Score gives you the opportunity to slow or even reverse bone loss before you break a bone!  We feel everyone over the age of 30 should know their T-Score as a baseline for future comparison.
