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.
