And yet OsteoBoost, a vibrating belt, has been FDA approved for treating osteopenia. Is it the weight of the belt that helps?

Hmm. Wonder if the difference is osteopenia as opposed to osteoporosis. Interesting thought bout the weight of the belt. I’m seeing my endocrinologist in september and want to ask him about these things.

just a clarification...Osteoboost is FDA cleared, not approved. The distinction is significant as clearance doesn't indicate efficacy only safety and that it is similar to other approved medical devices. Clearance does not require as rigorous an evaluation as approval.
