Understanding Your Bone Density Options in BC: DXA vs. REMS Scans
Discover the modern alternative to traditional bone density testing in British Columbia. While DXA scans remain the clinical standard, long wait times and radiation exposure are driving many to choose REMS ultrasound technology—a 100% radiation-free, referral-free option that delivers immediate results and accurate fracture risk assessments without the year-long delays.
Ultra-processed Foods Are Harming Your Bones
Researchers studied people from the UK to see how eating ultra-processed foods (UPF) affects bone health. The study found that cutting back on ultra-processed foods helps keep bones healthy and lowers the risk of fractures.
Better bones. Better you.
At BoneHealth BC, we believe in early, gentle screening with REMS (Radio-frequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) technology that empowers you to protect your mobility and live fully — before a fracture defines your limits. BoneHealth BC's scan clinics are accessible throughout BC's Island, Lower Mainland, and Interior regions, and our Naturopathic Medical Review of REMS service helps patients and clinicians make informed decisions.
