Echolight sonogram scan for bones
Has anyone heard of, or had an Echolight sonogram scan instead of a radiation DEXA scan? New FDA approved that has been used in Europe for awhile. https://www.echolightmedical.com/en/company/

Also, pay attention to diet. Lot’s of fruit and veggies. Also fish. Not much meat
MD location was not listed on link above for REMS locations so how did you find out about it? Are there other locations not listed here:

I did lots of online searches for echolight and REMS scans. Not only did I find the Maryland location - which just opened, so maybe that’s why it’s not on the list echolight provided to me - I also found a location outside Atlanta, in East Cobb, which will help a family member.
Thank you! Hoping one in Colorado pops up soon!
There’s one in Naples, Florida and my Osteostrong in Fort Myers is getting it too.
What research is there on the use of the "Vibrating Plate" for osteoporosis? Are there any scientific/medical articles?
I just returned from Black Mountain, North Carolina after having a Echolite REMS test at StrengthX (Mike Lewen, owner). He was very helpful in helping me understand the readout of this test. I also scheduled a half hour appt. with him the following day to do a half hour run-through of his bio density machine which involves osteogenic loading equipment similar to Osteostrong. I also experienced his whole body vibrating machine. All very positive experiences. I feel much better about my current approach to osteoporosis:
1. Pilates and strength training workout
2. Dietary intake of increased calcium foods (goat kefir/greek yogurt) daily, organic dried prunes/apricots/figs
3. improve sleep, reduce anxiety
4. Openness to medication in the future but not now.
Do you mind sharing how your REMS results compare with your DEXA?
I will gladly share the REMS comparison with my DEXA once I have a chance. Just returned from NC.
Is this available at Mayo?
