Bone Density and Health Scans at ISIS Chiropractic Centres
ISIS Chiropractic Centres started a partnership with Screenetics health screening in September 2008, offering in-house bone density screens using advanced dual x-ray and laser technology (DEXA-scan) and general health scans relating to other common health problems.
When can I have my scan?
Screenetics provide the service at all our three clinics in Aylesbury, Milton Keynes and Northampton on a monthly basis.
If you have any questions or if you want to make an appointment please phone us, or alternatively contact us here.
The Bone Density Scan
The screening procedure is non-invasive, accurate and only takes 20 minutes. After the scan the results will be explained to you, as well as offering any advise, if needed. This is a fantastic opportunity to have a bone density scan to a very reasonable price!
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is more common now than ever before, with around 1 in 3 women and 1 in 8 men affected by osteoporosis and its symptoms. Early diagnosis and regular monitoring is key to managing the condition and minimising the risks.
Are you at risk of osteoporosis?
There are a number of risk factors:
- Age
- Early menopause (natural or due to surgery)
- Family History
- Malabsorption (Chron’s, Celiac, Gluten intolerance)
- Poor diet
- Lack of exercise
These are just a few common factors, the list is long.
You don’t necessarily know if you have osteoporosis until you have a fracture. Osteoporosis develops gradually over time and you might not know that you have it until your bones become brittle.
Having a DEXA-scan can help to identify if you are at risk, before it becomes a problem. Treatment, which in the early stages is mainly diet and exercise, can make a phenomenal difference. Most of us probably know if we have a poor lifestyle, but a poor result on the DEXA-scan often kick people in to action.
Once you have symptoms from osteoporosis it is much more difficult to deal with. There is powerful medication these days, but they are not without side-effects.
Our advice is to act now! Have the scan and you will know for sure where you stand.
