Osteoboost helpful?

@mistymom I have not seen any independent research that vibration plates help—I would love to see the research if you would post a link—greatly appreciated.
Osteoboost has data to support it, so that’s why I choose to get it.

@marmze There is evidence that vibration plates work

@zhaner I got a vibration plate partially based on this scientific paper:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9925023/
Here is an excerpt:
"Conclusions
It can be concluded that vibration therapy showed positive outcomes as a treatment modality to improve bone mass density and postural control in postmenopausal women and geriatric populations. However ... "

@kfhoz Thanks for sharing the study! I know they did research with Marodyne and didn’t get positive results, so other vibration plates must work better.

I found Emily Splichal podiatrist - founder of NABOSO products, that help my feet. I’d use her neuro insoles, socks and tools to calm the nerves. Check her out and he products out. (She on YouTube also). Her products can usually help calm the nerves. I read where her products were endorsed by Foundation of Peripheral Neuropathy, but O can’t find anything on their website for you. I have been seeing a physical that has promoted relaxing my muscles that relax the nerves and diaphragm breathing. My thought is calm the nerves reduces the pain, tingling and numbing. Due to arthritis I have problems massaging the muscles and feet for very long and looked into the vibration plate. I have been seeing 2 Neuro dr’s at the Cleveland clinic. I have fractured L4-l5 and severe stenosis. I felt the neuropathy came for the stenosis. The spine dr didn’t think so and referred me to a muscular dr for blood work and emg. Basically everything was normal. So I have idiopathic neuropathy. I spoke to the Neuromuscular dr and EMG Dr. and an orthopedic about using the vibration plate. All said it was fine as long as I am reasonable about the use. After a short session I get relief in my feet almost back to normal reducing the numbness, that the insoles and socks usually can’t help.

Below is what chat GPT says. About vibration plates for neuropathy, they are retrieving some of the information from PUBMD. I try to research my doctors looking to see if they have published any articles that interest me.

Best wishes I hope it works for you. As we all know what works for one might not for you.

This is a good reference that discusses the pro's and con's of high intensity and low intensity vibration products for post menopausal osteoporosis management based on analysis of the published clinical studies in this area. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36282343/

@mistymom I agree with your comments. I was diagnosed with scoliosis and spine degeneration less than a year ago which has caused chronic pain to my low back. I participated in PT and take Tylenol, or Motrin most days and flexeril when needed for low back pain and spasms which at times can limit when and how long I can exercise. I recently purchased a Rumblex plus from Lifepro. After one use I had a reduction in my pain level from 3-4 to zero. I was amazed but I think the vibration helps nerves to work better, similar to massage. I also immediately noticed more flexibility in my spine. I now use the device everyday and continue to find my back pain diminishes. I understand that many of the research studies don’t have enough evidence to state positively that these devices work. Anecdotal evidence was enough for me. I would encourage anyone with back pain after consultation with their doctor to try one of these devices. Most companies have a 30 day return policy.

I belong to a webinar group that meets weekly and this week the moderator, Dr. Lani Simpson (chiropractor not an MD), scoffed at this device. That's just one person's opinion - but there are a lot of gimmicks and people out there who capitalize on the fear of others, so you have to be careful. It costs $995.

Thanks for sharing your experience

Yes I have one. I've just started to use it 30 minutes ago day. It fits around your hips with velcro belt. It shuts off after 30 min. It seems to be real low vibration I hope it keeps my hips and spine from going backwards after Evenity. I had a fusion 7 months ago. L4l5..
