InBody scan
InBody scan in The Hague
I highly recommend Dr. Carey, he has the expertise as chiropractor. People that work here are friendly and professional.

A very different chiropractic experience from what you are used to. A friendly welcome and, above all, a lovely atmosphere for a treatment. Dr. Carey is friendly and funny, and after months of misery the treatment was the solution for me.
It is quite a drive for me, but if I need to, I will go there.

Preparation
Do not eat for two to three hours beforehand, do not drink excessively just before the measurement and do not exercise right before. Use the toilet before you step onto the device.
The measurement
You stand barefoot on the device and hold two handgrips. A weak, harmless current measures how different tissues resist it. Muscle tissue conducts well, fat tissue less so. It is done within a minute.
Your result sheet
Straight after the measurement you receive a detailed result sheet. Everything is set out clearly, including the distribution per body part and your progress compared with earlier measurements.
Tracking in the app
If you give your phone number during the measurement, your results go automatically into the free InBody app. Every following measurement is added, so you can see your development without having to track anything yourself.
InBody or DEXA scan, what is the difference?
Both measure body composition, but in different ways. A DEXA scan uses very low doses of X-rays, is usually done in a clinic and costs considerably more. An InBody scan works without radiation, is done in a minute and is far more accessible. The absolute values can differ slightly, but for tracking change over time the InBody is excellent. If your bone density also needs to be measured, that route runs through your GP or a specialist. We work with the InBody.
What does an InBody scan measure?
A scale tells you what you weigh, but not what that weight is made of. An InBody scan breaks your weight down into its parts, so you can see what is actually changing.
You get insight into your body fat percentage and fat mass, your muscle mass, your body water and your visceral fat, the fat around the organs in your abdomen. Your basal metabolic rate is calculated too, meaning how many calories your body burns per day at rest as a minimum. The measurement is also segmental: you see for each arm, each leg and the trunk separately how muscle and fat are distributed.
We measure with the InBody 770. The measurement is painless, takes about a minute and you do not need to undress. Useful if you are losing weight and want to know whether you are losing fat or muscle as well, if you are training and want to see results, or as an addition to your chiropractic treatment.
An InBody scan costs EUR 35 per measurement. You do not need to be a patient and you do not need a referral.
