Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?

Has anyone had experience with OsteoStrong? It suggests you will get a large increase in bone density while using their facility 10 minutes per WEEK. Somewhat pricey at $99 and up per month, but am curious if anyone who is NOT a franchisee, has experienced this program?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

I enrolled in the Osteostrong facility in Washington. After two years of faithfully attending sessions, my recent Dexa scan showed a worsening of osteoporosis from approximately -2.5 to -2.9. I am aware of a law suit against Osteostrong for false information given to their franchisees. I would suggest carefully exploring before joining.

I am very interested in knowing more about this from people that have used it. I have pretty severe osteoarthritis and RA and I am in constant pain.

Your Medicare covers some of the cost of Osteostrong? How did you apply for it? I’ve been going for 2 years and it’s been very successful for me. Thank you

There are chiropractic offices that specialize in osteoporosis with similar equipment. I went to one in Asheville, NC $40 per month which included use of vibration machines. They also have the Echolight sonogram bone density and bone strength which is equal or better than a DEXA scan. Affordable and can be repeated anytime without risk. My Echolight scan matched my recent Dexa scan but also showed that my overall bone strength was strong.
It takes time to build bone so any program whether its exercise, nutrition, or pharmaceutical is a two year or longer process and requires commitment of time and money. It would be nice if vitamins and alternative treatments were covered by insurance.

Hello @csday
I see that you posted this information almost 3 years ago, but I live in Asheville and would love to know more about your chiropractor.
Thanks so much.
