I have no direct experience with them other than taking my wife there after her having broken bones for her 10-15 minute session. She started after fracturing both bones in her left leg. I do not believe the claims they make. Why aren’t they shut down? All the data I have reviewed are unclear at best regarding efficacy. On an anecdotal note. Since her leg fracture she took 2 years of Forteo. The night after she took her last dose, she fractured her right ankle. She had also had approximately 2 years of Osteostrong . She sees an osteorheumotologist too. Her bone density hadn’t improved either. Now after 6 years of Osteostrong and 4 years of Prolia and walking 2 miles every day, she fractured her left ankle. She may be an outlier. However, I find it preposterous that 10 minutes of Osteostrong once a week could arrest or reverse bone loss. My question is, where is the best center in the US for patients with osteoporosis? Who is doing cutting edge research or clinical trials? She’s not but 63.

Hi @smittysmith2, Your wife is fortunate to have you in her corner, and I am sorry for the pain she's experiencing.
In researching osteoporosis, I found Dr. Loren Fishman, who has an ongoing study of selected yoga poses for osteoporosis, which increase bone density. He is on the faculty of Columbia University Medical School. It may be worthwhile to google him, find his interviews, etc.
I don't know anything about Osteostrong, but found this interview with its founder, Dr. John Jaquish with Dr. Doug Lucas, a retired orthopedic surgeon, now speacializing in bone health.


I've often wondered, like you, where the cutting edge research on osteoporosis is being done.
