DEXA or REMS? What Should You Get?

[@teri8964]

How can we get more facilities to get REMS equipment? It's frustrating that there is no place locally for this testing.

Thank you ! Lots of good info take into consideration. I appreciate all you do to help those of us in need . When i told my family I was diagnosed they just said " yeah, it runs in the family nothing you can do about it " I was on the verge of crying .

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Thank you for your kind words, and I’m really sorry to hear how that conversation with your family made you feel. It’s tough when people downplay something so personal and important. But please know that there is a lot you can do to support your bone health, and you’re not alone in this journey. I’m glad you’re here, taking steps to care for yourself and find the right path forward. You've got this, and we're here to support you every step of the way!

Same here. Osteoporosis diagnosis from dexa but my bones seem really strong. Doctor just wanted to give me fosamax I declined.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It sounds like you could benefit from the next free Bone Foundations Masterclass we have coming up if you have not attended one before. You can find more information here -->www.optimalhumanhealth.com/build-bone

The dexa scan is the only testing I have access to every 2 years I hope it's as accurate as possible

Any REMS locating near Massachusetts?

[@lindacannon7392]

Hello, I live in New Hampshire and have been looking for quite some time with no luck. I went to Dr. Bush Who is an orthopedic surgeon in North Carolina and it was totally worth it, but I just found this location in Gloucester mass. It’s a chiropractor‘s office and the name is the harbor health group.

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Hi! So far we know of the following locations: FL, IL,NJ, NC, and TX

[@lauriegauthier4445]

I just scheduled an appointment in Gloucester Massachusetts! Thanks!

[@cherlgolja5402]

[@BBurns-vg9om]

[@cvaillancourt4803]

In Ontario, look up OsteoSound.

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Hi! Yes, looks like someone in the comments beat me to it

[@BBurns-vg9om]

I go to Nick Birch for my Rems yest ❤

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Thank you for sharing this!

Dr. Doug, it is really not practical to try everything that comes up from time to time. If I understand what you are saying, you want the patient to go ahead and do the two available tests. I am not sure that this a practical thing. If it is only one test that you really need to do, which one should it be?????

Great video but utterly confused by the precise / accurate thing.

[@LT-pp1je]

I have opposite results. REMs results were drastically different and not in a good way. But fragility score was all green with low fracture %. Maybe because I'm small frame skinny person? Still frustrating
