Body Composition Analysis | DEXA Scan, IL
A Valuable Tool for Assessing Weight & Overall Health
Body composition analysis by DEXA is an accurate tool for assessing weight
loss, nutrition, exercise, rehabilitation and overall health. Body fat
percentage is superior to the currently accepted body mass index (BMI),
as a measure of healthy weight. The results can help motivate and propel
you in your journey.
What does a DEXA Scan Measure?
-
Weight Loss Tracking: Forget the scale, forget pinch tests. They give a small, often inaccurate,
glimpse into your health and progress. A DEXA Body Composition Scan is
a far superior way of tracking your weight loss progress. It shows what
percent of your body is bone, muscle and fat. Gain insight on where the
muscle in your body lies so you can correct imbalances and shift workouts
to focus on areas that need improvement. An excellent resource for athletes,
those trying to get in better shape, and anyone interested in learning
more about their body’s balance.
-
Post-Surgical Progress: A broken bone that needs to be casted for a length of time can weaken
the muscle. Surgeries such as a knee or shoulder replacement can make
your body’s muscle mass uneven. Measure your physical therapy and
post surgical progress with a DEXA Body Composition Scan. This test reveals
whether your muscle re-growth is on track or if your muscle mass is larger
on one side of your body versus the other.
-
Health Monitoring: Even if you are in excellent shape you may have a genetic predisposition
to a higher level of fats surrounding your organs. This could be a pre-indicator
for Diabetes Type 2. This simple scan is a comprehensive way to learn
if you are at risk, empowering you to work with your doctor on methods
to lower your risk.
