I find it interesting that we can’t get more information directly from those treating the bones of Astronaut Kelly!

Hello to all my fellow travelers....I could use your expertise here. I have a LifePro "Waver" vibration plate and have enjoyed using it. BUT...I had an x-ray of my Thoracic region..knowing that I had had a previous accident involving my T-8 ...but now have 2 more compression frxs. T-9,10. I stopped using the machine.
I continued with the OTC bone building supplements and other forms of exercise and recently got another DEXA...which showed that my severe osteoporosis has improved greatly! 9.6% in my hips and 5.4% gain in my lumbar. SO...I ask you all...could this improvement be from the vibration plate usage?..or could it have caused the other two compression frxs.!
LifePro has reached out to me..as I sent them an email with my questions...they are now going to have a 'trainer' call me tomorrow to go over the ways I should be using their machine. I would like to take this opportunity to ask all the questions I can..and the main one is...regarding the either high frequency or is it low intensity that we want to have. I'm confused...could you please let me know what questions I should be asking? I wasn't using the machine at it's highest levels. I really liked the 'feeling' I got from using this machine..but need to have the proper input before I try it again.
Please let me know what your collective thoughts and suggestions are. Much appreciated! Be well.....
