Local context
DEXA Scans in Appleton and the Fox Cities
The clinic listed further down this page runs that scan for Appleton, covering 1 ZIP code across the area. A DEXA scan measures your body fat percentage, how much lean muscle you carry in each limb, the visceral fat around your organs, and your bone mineral density. It takes about 10 minutes and you get the numbers in writing.
The Fox River gave Appleton its start as a paper-industry town, and the river still shapes the city, from the College Avenue downtown above its banks to Lawrence University's campus overlooking the water. Today the Outagamie County seat is the hub of the Fox Cities, a metro of tightly linked communities including Neenah, Menasha, Kaukauna, and Grand Chute, with a running culture that peaks each fall at the Community First Fox Cities Marathon. Health care here is anchored by ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Appleton and Ascension St. Elizabeth Hospital, and the listings on this page show where to book a DEXA scan. High Cliff State Park on Lake Winnebago sits a short drive southeast for hikers and trail runners. For all of them, DEXA turns training into trackable numbers: fat mass, lean mass by region, and bone density.

Frequently Asked Questions - Appleton DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Appleton, WI?
Neuro Spine Center of Wisconsin, at 5320 West Michaels Drive in Appleton, WI, runs DEXA scans for the Appleton area. Call (920) 882-8200 to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Appleton?
Each Appleton clinic sets its own price, and cash-pay scans typically run $99–$250 depending on whether you book body composition, bone density, or both. The listings on this page carry the clinic's contact details so you can confirm the exact figure before you schedule. HSA and FSA payments are accepted at most locations.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Appleton?
Usually not for a self-pay body composition scan in Appleton, though a hospital imaging department may ask for a physician's order for any scan, so check when you book. A bone density scan billed to insurance usually needs one.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Appleton, Wisconsin?
Often, yes, but only for bone density. If a physician orders the scan as medically necessary, say after a referral from a doctor at a health system in Outagamie County like ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Appleton & Ascension St. Elizabeth, insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both.
Is a DEXA scan safe in Appleton?
Yes. A DEXA scan at Neuro Spine Center of Wisconsin delivers roughly a tenth the radiation of a chest X-ray, less than you absorb from natural background sources in a normal day. Nothing touches you and nothing is injected. You lie still for 10-15 minutes.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Appleton?
Total and regional body fat percentage, how lean muscle is distributed across your arms, legs, and trunk, visceral fat around the organs, and bone mineral density. All of it from one 10-minute whole-body scan in Appleton, wherever a clinic offers body composition as well as bone density.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Appleton?
Budget about 30 minutes including check-in at Neuro Spine Center of Wisconsin. The scan itself runs 10-15 minutes. Most clinics send the results report within a day or two.
What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?
Nothing. Both stand for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. DXA is what clinicians write, DEXA is what most people say, and Neuro Spine Center of Wisconsin runs the same test under either name. Same test, same machine.
