Whole Body Vibration for Osteoporosis

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.

I would like to know the answer to this as well. My daughter gave me one for my birthday, but I hesitate to use it as it’s been suggested to not use one if you’ve had knee replacement, such as my case.

I am not really concerned about my knee if it’s just low vibration.

Anyone?

There are many variations on whole body vibration devices. My research led me to the Marodyn LIV made in Germany - a low intensity device with some actual 'factual' scinetific research. I recommend this product and believe it can be used with joint replacments - you can double check this. Sending postive energy on your healing.

Thank you so very much.

@teb thank you for this clarification! I’m on the pre-order list for Osteoboost and I had misunderstood, thinking it was FDA approved. Just looked it up and you are correct. I’m kind of bummed. But will try it anyway.

you're welcome! Doesn't mean that it doesn't work so only time will tell. Best of luck and keep us posted!

@teb Will do! Waiting for my unit to be delivered.

Thank you @teb @wondering1 for clarification on OsteoBoost. I am on the pre-order list as well and misunderstood and thought it was FDA approved. Still going to give it a try.

and thank you
@rola for your link about Marodyne in a previous post

my comment: why not go to the person and clinic source itself to get results?
below is a copy of research Rola has provided us with:

Dr Belinda Beck has confirmed her LIFTMOR study results again on the Marodyne and LIV, which is:

Disappointing news that vibration therapy does not work and will not even maintain bone.

Located at 55:00.

I have confidence in Dr Beck's opinion as she has been involved in the trial.

I am curious which source does Margery Bissinger have on results with Marodyne.
