Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive measurement of how body tissues and fluids conduct electricity. These painless measurements give the chiropractor a comprehensive indication of the clients state of health or disease, allowing improved client care. Nutritional medicine represents perhaps the most dynamic area of growth in medicine today. Proper body composition is vital to good health. Body composition and fluid volume change with your nutritional state. Maintaining a healthy body composition is a key ingredient of good health, at least as important as maintaining a healthy weight. The proper lean-to-fat ratio and body cell mass are associated with longevity and reduced risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Achieving a natural balance maintains health, improves recovery and enhances well being. The BIA makes an accurate assessment of the body composition available to anyone. It's simple, fast, inexpensive and accurate. In fact, independent researchers have found that bio-impedance is a highly reliable method of assessing body composition.

The applications for this system are many. It can be used as part of a routine physical exam or for monitoring changes in body fat from diet and exercise programs. BIA is a valuable component of our comprehensive health promotion services.
