DXA Scanning Service
As part of the diagnostic services offered at the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, we offer a full body composition and bone density DXA scanning service. This is currently a private service, offered at a competitive rate. This service is supported by a Consultant Physician who specialises in metabolic bone disease.
A DXA scan is a safe and painless procedure which involves being exposed to a small dose of ionising radiation (X-rays). In order to comply with IR(ME)R 2017 regulations, all patients must have a clinically justified referral from a healthcare practitioner.
The results will normally be made available to your referring practitioner within 5 working days.
Should you have any other questions then please contact WIOC Reception on 01443 483555
