We’re proud to offer an exciting new Holistic Imaging option at A Holistic Approach — the Osteo Scan, a modern, radiation-free method for monitoring bone density, body composition and fracture risk using REMS Echolight technology.
Whether you’re concerned about osteoporosis, navigating perimenopause, recovering from injury or simply want a proactive view of your health, this scan provides clear, immediate insights — all without the discomfort or radiation exposure of traditional methods like DEXA scans.

What is REMS and Why is it Different?
REMS stands for Radiofrequency Echographic MultiSpectrometry — a revolutionary scanning method that assesses bone mineral density (BMD) and other indicators of skeletal health without using ionizing radiation.
Bone Density Scan Fort Myers
Unlike the traditional DEXA scan, which uses X-rays and often requires a prescription, REMS is:
Completely radiation-free
FDA-approved
Painless and non-invasive
Safe to repeat as often as needed
Performed without a prescription
This makes it ideal for those who want more regular monitoring, are sensitive to radiation or are seeking a more accessible and comfortable way to stay informed about their bone health.
Who Can Benefit from an Osteo Scan?
While most people associate bone density testing with aging, bone health matters at every stage of life, especially for:
Women approaching or in menopause
Adults 50+ who haven’t had a recent scan
People with a family history of osteoporosis or fractures
Individuals with autoimmune or digestive issues that affect nutrient absorption
Athletes and active adults monitoring strength and recovery
Post-surgical patients or those with mobility challenges
Anyone wanting a clear, holistic view of their long-term health
Osteo Scans are also perfect for people who’ve never had a bone density scan before and want a gentle, no-radiation entry point into this important area of health.
What Does The Scan Include?
Every Osteo Scan includes three key components:
1. Bone Density Scan
We measure the lumbar spine and hip — the two most common sites for early signs of bone loss and future fracture risk.
2. Fragility Score (5-Year Fracture Risk)
You’ll receive a detailed report on your fracture risk over the next five years — a valuable tool for prevention and care planning.
3. Body Composition Assessment
Gain insight into your BMI, body fat percentage and metabolic health, offering a fuller picture of your overall wellness.
What to Expect During Your Appointment?
The scan takes just 15–30 minutes and is completely non-invasive. You’ll lie comfortably while a handheld device gathers the data — no gowns, injections or discomfort required.
Afterward, you’ll receive your results on the spot. You can also choose to add a Holistic Consultation where one of our practitioners will:
Interpret your results with you
Offer personalized recommendations for bone support
Help you plan any next steps based on your health goals or risk factors
Why Monitoring Bone Health Matters
Bone loss can happen quietly over time — often without symptoms until a fracture occurs. The sooner you have a baseline reading of your bone health, the more empowered you’ll be to take action and preserve your strength and mobility for years to come.
Whether you’re facing a known condition or simply want peace of mind, Osteo Scan provides the insights you need in a way that’s gentle, safe and effective.
