Allergy Testing
After
your one-hour consultation with the physician, we can order a
Comprehensive Allergy Profile through Great Smokies Diagnostic
Laboratories. A blood test identifies allergies to foods and
environmental pollutants.

Bio Electrical
Impedance Analysis BIA
Bioimpedance
Analysis (BIA) is a reliable method of measuring body composition,
including percentage of body fat and lean body mass. Measurements are
taken with a Bioimpedance analyzer, which uses electrodes similar to EKG
electrodes. The measuring passes a harmless, ultra-low level of
electrical current through the body. Lean tissue, which is over 70
water, is a good conductor of electrical current. Fatty tissue - low in
water - is not. Thus, the resistance to the flow of electrical current
measured by the analyzer can be used to calculate body composition.

Cardiovision
CardioVision can generate
information on the elasticity or flexibility of the brachial artery.
We have recently purchased an additional software program in order to
measure the Ankle Brachial Index. These two innovative computerized
tests provide valuable information on cardiovascular status and risk
assessment.

The
Tanita Body Composition Scale
Percent
body fat is a more accurate way to determine weight guidelines as
compared to simple height and weight measurements. Body composition is
measured based on the fact that lean tissues have a high water and
electrolyte content and thus provide a good electrical pathway. The
client steps onto the contact surface. Measurement of his or her
resistance to electrical current from one foot to the other is made.
Percent body fat, as calculated by Tanita, is a proprietary formula
combining resistance and weight measurements with height, gender, and
age and exercise capacity.
