I went there and it was awesome but I went to visit a orthopedic specialist and he told me that Osteo Strong would not be for individuals with osteoarthritis only osteoporosis. The staff at Osteo Strong disagreed.
Osteostrong machines were great. They had a machine that the staff would select if you wanted help with inflamation or other choices. I selected inflamation and you sit near it but it can go out 6 feet and it sends out an energy that helps with inflamation. It really helped. I will check with another ortho doctor I have and see what she says. I was going to a new ortho because I thought he did something new but he was a joke

I'm glad that you're getting another opinion on OsteoStrong. I hope OsteoStrong can cite valid, independent, third-party peer-reviewed studies that show incontrovertible evidence that this actually does do something for inflammation. I'm skeptical of claims made by for-profit entities, yet alone franchises. This is not a comment about OsteStrong, per se, but it is a question about OsteoStrong's claims in general.

I implore everyone to be very careful about subjecting their bodies to new technology that hasn't been proven to be both effective and risk-free. It's one thing to throw a lot of money at something that turns out to be snake oil. It's another thing entirely to possibly be injured in the process.

For those who doubt that dangerous stuff comes on the market all the time, do a Google search for the class action lawsuits against Ultherapy for destroying muscle. The company is in the process of declaring bankruptcy and yet cosmetic surgeons and "anesthetists" throughout South Florida are still using the device on clients. One highly-regarded cosmetic surgeon in South Florida gets phone calls from women around the country hoping to have their faces rebuilt and he can do nothing because the muscle has been removed so there's to build with. As he put it in an article, there's no 'scaffolding' left to work with. [The ultrasound 'went too deep and, instead of acting upon deeper epidermal layers, to trigger collagen production, actually destroyed tissue down to the bone in the hands of some operators.] Add the class-action lawsuits against Coolsculpt for creating 'paradoxical' large fat lumps aka "stick of butter"-sized fat formations. Both of these tecnologies had FDA approval. ]

What do you mean inflammation machine “it sends out an energy”?
I can’t use BMI weight scales because it puts a small current through my body and causes my heart to pound fast and hard. So is that making sending out a current?
