PEMF for treatment of Osteoporosis - Is it effective?

That is really interesting! Most recently I've been recommended to take Reclast, which my endo says is an old drug with very minimal if any side effects. Not what patients on this site say, and since I'm 86 I would rather not spend a year of my dwindling life expectancy in misery. Just got a DEXA which shows improvement or stability plus one - spine - now normal, after taking McCormick collagen and now minerals, exercise, D, eating more calcium, etc. Now I'm about to get an Echolight scan which is ultrasound that will show both bone density and bone quality and will get a doctor's consult plus 5-year risk of fracture.
You can do it as often as you want because there's no radiation and it's also more accurate than a DEXA. This is the standard in Europe now and I'm lucky to have the ortho most experienced with it in the country close by, in Sanford, NC.
My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer but it turned out the MRI was faulty, fortunately, and he does not have cancer. There's a much more accurate up-the-butt MRI - first treatment in Europe. I'm starting to think we should check all treatments with the European standard the way we should with food additives and other food standards before we agree to them.

@stuffyoung - Can you share your last 2 Dexas so we can see how much you have improved?
Pemf for horses has help with bone repair especially fractures but these units need to be sufficiently powerful to get through tissue and into the bone. There are many pemf practitioners for horses that you could contact to discuss their success with fractures - without pemf those animals would have been put down.
I am 75 and new to osteo and starting to research. My doctor prescribed a Prolia injection but having done some research I cancelled the appointment and now have little interest in medications. I have started to take calcium, vita D & K2 supplements. I have read that calcium on its own is no good and needs to be accompanied with Vita D. I have also read that many people have started to take collagen.
Interesting that your husbands MRI was faulty, I am hoping my bone density scan was faulty as its hard to believe following an active lifestyle to have osteo in my left hip ?
I think that diet, exercise, supplements and daily pemf will go a long way to regenerate bone which regardless of age should regenerate naturally.

Thanks for your info. I have read about Echolight. You are lucky to have a knowledgeable professional so close by. I agree with you about a more natural approach to improving our bones. I had the greatest improvement in my DEXA when I walked 5-7 miles per day. Became lazy…DEXA worsened. I already enjoy a great diet augmented by supplements so I need to get moving again. LOL! Please let us know if you garner a PEMF device for your hip and if it works well for you. Very interested in this since I know PEMF really helps!
