DEXA Scan Referrals & Mobility Planning
Early Detection. Stronger Aging. Data-Driven Longevity
A DEXA scan gives you objective insight into your bone health, muscle mass, and body composition — so we can protect your mobility before problems begin.
At Lakeside, we don’t just give you results. We turn your data into a personalized action plan.
What Is a DEXA Scan?
A DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a quick, low-radiation test that measures:
- • Bone Strength
- • Risk of Osteoporosis
- • Muscle Mass
- • Body Composition
- • Visceral Fat / Heart Risk
The scan takes about 10–20 minutes.
It is painless and non-invasive.

The Silent Risk: Bone Loss & Muscle Loss
Most people don’t feel bone loss.
Most people don’t notice gradual muscle loss.
But after age 40:
Bone density slowly declines
Muscle mass decreases
Fall risk increases
The good news?
With early detection, both can be managed.
Why Should I Consider a DEXA Scan?
You may benefit if you:
Are 40+ and want to age stronger
Are post-menopausal
Have a family history of osteoporosis
Have had a previous fracture
Live with Parkinson’s or a neurological condition

FAQs
What is the Foundation Assessment?
The Foundation Assessment is a comprehensive preventive health evaluation that combines advanced diagnostics, imaging, and physician consultation. It is designed to provide a detailed understanding of your health and identify early risk factors.
Is the Foundation Assessment covered by OHIP?
No. The Foundation Assessment includes multiple non-insured services and is therefore not covered by OHIP. However, if a medically necessary issue is identified during the assessment, any insured services are billed to OHIP separately.
What happens if something abnormal is found?
If clinically significant findings are identified, appropriate follow-up is arranged, medically necessary investigations are ordered, and insured services are billed to OHIP when applicable. Your La Vie physician will guide next steps and ensure continuity of care.
What does membership provide?
Membership supports preventive health planning, continuity of care, and care coordination.
