Sarah came to HALLĒ after years of relying solely on DEXA scans for her bone health monitoring. At 58, she had been through menopause for several years and wanted a more comprehensive understanding of her skeletal health.
"I was told by my DEXA that everything was fine," Sarah recalls, "but something didn't feel right. My mother had osteoporosis, and I wanted to be proactive."
The REMS assessment revealed something her previous scans had missed — while her bone density was within normal range, her bone quality scores showed early signs of microarchitectural changes. This is exactly the kind of insight that traditional density-only measurements can overlook.
Armed with this new information, Sarah worked with her healthcare provider to develop a proactive wellness strategy. She adjusted her exercise routine to include more weight-bearing activities and made nutritional changes to support bone health.
"Catching it early gave me the chance to take action before it became a bigger issue. I am so grateful for the team at HALLĒ."
Six months later, Sarah returned for a follow-up assessment and was pleased to see improvements in her bone quality metrics. She now recommends REMS assessments to all her friends.
