Why Would Your Doctor or Chiropractor Recommend a Bone Density Test?

A DEXA scan isn’t just for older women, it’s used to assess bone health and fracture risk for anyone with a medical indication.

Your practitioner may recommend a scan to:
- Compare with previous results and monitor bone density changes
- Confirm a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis due to age, chemotherapy, or other factors
- Assess bone strength and fracture risk before problems arise

While routine screening is more common in mature women, men and children may also need testing if medically indicated.

Your hips play a vital role in how your body moves every day.

They help support balance, stability, and efficient movement when you walk, sit, bend, or exercise. When the hips are not functioning well, it can place additional strain on the lower back, knees, and surrounding muscles.

Healthy hip mobility and strength are important for maintaining overall neuromusculoskeletal health.

Take a look at our infographic to learn why your hips matter and how they support movement and spinal health.

If you’re experiencing hip or lower back discomfort, consider consulting a CASA-registered chiropractor for an assessment.

Adolescence is a time of rapid growth and development.

During these years, the body – including the spine – is constantly changing. Growth spurts, heavy school bags, long hours studying, and increased screen time can sometimes place extra strain on the musculoskeletal system.

Encouraging healthy habits early can help support lifelong spinal health:
- Maintain good posture while studying
- Stay physically active
- Carry school bags correctly
- Take regular breaks from screens

Chiropractors are trained to assess the spine and musculoskeletal system and can help guide adolescents toward healthier movement habits.

If you have concerns about your teenager’s posture, back pain, or movement, consider consulting a CASA-registered chiropractor.
