Vertebral fracture assessment in a 51-year old postmenopausal woman

I have a 51-year-old patient 18 months postmenopause with ~2 inch (30%) loss of height since her last visit when she was 45. She has mild back pain in her lumbar region but is otherwise healthy except for a recent diagnosis of hypertension. I recommended a lateral spine x-ray; should she also get a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan? Or should I wait for the x-ray?
