@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.

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..

@izziesue im not sure maybe id say the 995 price might be worth a try if it stops from getting worse without meds. I was told it will last 10 years. It comes with rechargeable battery.

@zhaner why did your endo refuse to get it. It's not going to make anything worse. Was he from mayo clinic,
? It's no skin off his back. Just plain irresponsible not to want to help your patients any way u can. Get another dr to give u script maybe your family dr will. It does not need to be a specialty dr who gives u the script.
