About This Location
Our Jacksonville location at 9116 Cypress Green Dr in the Southside area serves Northeast Florida with FDA-cleared REMS technology developed by Echolight S.p.A. — measuring both bone mineral density and bone microarchitecture quality with zero ionizing radiation.
The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) recognizes REMS as an emerging standard for non-invasive bone assessment. Our Jacksonville office provides a comfortable, professional environment with free parking, wheelchair accessibility, and results delivered the same day. We serve Jacksonville Beach, St. Augustine, Orange Park, Fleming Island, Ponte Vedra Beach, Fernandina Beach, and surrounding First Coast communities.
Every assessment generates a personalized report including T-score, Z-score, Fragility Score, and 5-year fracture risk — metrics that go beyond what traditional DEXA provides. HSA and FSA funds are accepted, and no physician referral is required.

REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) measures both bone density and bone quality using zero-radiation ultrasound. DEXA measures only bone mineral density using low-dose X-ray. REMS provides a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk prediction that DEXA does not offer, with same-day results at our Jacksonville location.

|---|---|---|
| Technology | Ultrasound (REMS) | X-ray (Dual-Energy) |
| Radiation | Zero | Low-dose ionizing |
| Measures Bone Density (BMD) |
Expert Voices
More physicians and researchers are choosing radiation-free REMS over DEXA. Here is what leading bone-health experts say about the technology behind your HALLĒ assessment in Jacksonville.
REMS is the first clinically available method for direct, non-ionizing measurement of lumbar and femoral BMD — an accurate diagnostic parameter and a predictor of incident clinical fracture risk.

FAQ
Common questions about REMS bone health assessments at our Jacksonville location include appointment length (~20 minutes), insurance (HSA/FSA accepted), referral requirements (none needed), and what to wear (comfortable, loose-fitting clothing).
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is an FDA-cleared, radiation-free ultrasound technology that measures both bone mineral density and bone quality. Unlike DEXA scans, REMS uses no ionizing radiation and can be performed in approximately 20 minutes with same-day results.
DEXA scans use X-ray radiation and measure only bone mineral density (BMD). REMS uses ultrasound, involves zero radiation exposure, and measures both BMD and bone quality — providing a more complete picture of bone health. REMS also calculates a Fragility Score and 5-year fracture risk that DEXA does not offer.
No referral is required. You can book your REMS bone health assessment directly through our website. However, we recommend sharing your results with your primary care provider or specialist for integrated care.
REMS assessments are not typically covered by traditional health insurance. However, you can use HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) funds to pay for your assessment. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
The REMS bone health assessment itself takes approximately 20 minutes. Plan for about 30 minutes total to allow time for check-in and a brief overview of your results before you leave.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. The scan is performed on the lumbar spine and femoral neck areas. You do not need to undress — the ultrasound works through light clothing.
Adults over 40, post-menopausal women, individuals with a family history of osteoporosis, those taking medications that may affect bone density (corticosteroids, certain cancer treatments), and anyone proactive about their long-term skeletal health may benefit from a REMS assessment.
Yes. The REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) device by Echolight S.p.A. is FDA-cleared under 510(k) clearance number K212851. It is classified as a diagnostic ultrasound system for bone density assessment and is approved for clinical use in the United States.
No special preparation is required. You do not need to fast, avoid supplements, or change your medication schedule. Simply wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. The scan is performed through light fabric on the lumbar spine and femoral neck areas.
Our Jacksonville location is at 9116 Cypress Green Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32256. We are conveniently located in the Southside area with free parking available on-site.
Our Jacksonville location is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. We are closed on Sundays. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.

HALLĒ is a wellness screening service and does not diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice. Results are intended for informational purposes and should be reviewed with your healthcare provider.
Is This For You?
REMS bone health screening is designed for adults who want a complete picture of their skeletal health — not just a density number.
You haven’t been diagnosed with anything — and you’d like to keep it that way. Before menopause accelerates bone loss, establish your baseline with zero radiation. REMS gives you density + quality + fragility data in one 20-minute visit.
Our Story
Jacksonville isn’t aging quietly — it’s about to age all at once.
The 65+ cohort here is currently around 11% of the population, well below Florida’s 21.75% state average, but the Florida Office of Economic & Demographic Research projects this group will double by 2035. Northeast Florida women are also living an average of 12 years longer than the previous generation, which means a decade more of bone load each one of them has to plan for.
The city has several DXA providers — UF Health, Mayo Clinic, Precision Imaging Centers — but every option uses ionizing radiation and most require a physician referral. For women who want a baseline scan they can repeat every six months without cumulative dose concerns, the radiation-free REMS pathway didn’t exist locally until HALLĒ arrived.
HALLĒ chose Jacksonville because the demographic wave is still building. Members who establish their bone-quality baseline now will have a 10-year trend line by the time the regional age curve peaks.

Quotes reflect each expert’s independent, publicly stated views on REMS technology and do not imply endorsement of HALLĒ. Each quote links to its original public source.
Your doctor recommended a DEXA, but you want more than a density number. REMS measures bone quality — the microarchitecture that determines whether bones bend or break. Track your HRT or supplement effectiveness every 6 months, safely.
You play tennis, golf, or pickleball. You feel strong. But bone loss is silent — 80% don’t know until a fracture. Pickleball players in their 60s face the highest fracture risk. A 20-minute REMS scan gives you the full picture.
Your mother or grandmother fractured a hip. Maternal hereditary risk roughly doubles your own fracture probability — and a baseline a decade before symptoms changes the whole intervention window. REMS gives that baseline radiation-free, repeatable every 6 months.
Corticosteroids, aromatase inhibitors, PPIs, certain antidepressants — all quietly reduce bone density. REMS tracks changes with zero radiation, as often as your provider recommends.
Your DEXA gave you a T-score. But two people with the same T-score can have vastly different fracture risk. REMS adds a Fragility Score and bone quality assessment — the data DEXA cannot provide.
The Cypress Green Drive location sits in the Southside corridor — 20 minutes from Jacksonville Beach, 25 from downtown, free parking, ground-floor access. We hold Monday through Saturday hours because northeast Florida women are working, traveling, and caregiving on schedules that don’t fit a 9-to-5 clinical window.
Jacksonville covers 874 square miles — the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States — and 22 miles of Atlantic beachfront. Active members here are beach-running, paddleboarding, and pickleball-playing well into their 70s, which is exactly the cohort that benefits most from quality-not-just-density bone monitoring.
