Discover Your Health's True Picture with DEXA scan

Comprehensive Body Composition Imaging from Wasatch Optimal Wellness
At Wasatch Optimal Wellness, we understand that knowledge is the first step towards achieving ultimate health and fitness goals. That’s why we’re proud to offer our state-of-the-art full-body DEXA scans – a comprehensive health assessment tool designed for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone dedicated to understanding their body and improving or maintaining optimal health.

Why Choose a Full-body DEXA Scan?

Our full-body DEXA scan is the gold standard in assessing body composition. Following the scan, you will be given a detailed report on many components of body composition including bone density, body fat percentage and distribution, and lean muscle mass. Utilizing dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, our DEXA machine delivers unparalleled insight into these important indicators of your health. This is great data to have if you are starting on a new weight loss plan or trying to reach certain fitness goals. These scans can be repeated in the future so you can see exactly how your body composition changes over time. 

Key Benefits of a Dexascan:

Who Full-body Dexascan is Ideal For:

It’s recommended that women over 65 and men over 70 have an annual DEXA scan to understand bone health. But, a full-body DEXA scan is also ideal for anyone interested in knowing their body composition by measuring the following:

Following your scan you will receive a detailed report with each of these measurements. One of our healthcare professionals will review the report with you and explain what each of these measurements means.

Whether you’re looking to optimize your nutrition and physical activity to meet fitness goals, or just want to know more about your body composition, a DEXA scan is for you. Contact Wasatch Optimal Wellness today to schedule your full-body DEXA scan.

How Accurate is a DEXA Scan?

A full-body DEXA scan is considered incredibly accurate in measuring bone mass and body composition. In fact, it’s one of the preferred methods for doing so! Things that skew a scan include irregular spinal curvature or people who have had spinal surgery in the past. Talk to one of our providers about your medical history prior to scheduling an exam to ensure it’s going to provide beneficial information for you.

Preparing for a Full-body DEXA Scan

This outpatient procedure can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes, and it requires zero downtime afterward. You’ll wear a gown or scrubs while you lie down for the scan and be on your way again in no time! 

What Do I Do With DEXA Scan Results?

Your DEXA scan results can influence your nutrition and physical activity regime; depending on your health goals, you’ll take a different course of action based on your scan results. With the data from the DEXA scan, WOW can offer suggestions for losing fat, gaining muscle, or increasing bone density.
After three to six months, we encourage you to return and undergo a follow-up DEXA scan to see your progress.
