Vibration Plate Therapy for increasing bone density

Posted by csrb7007 @csrb7007, 3 days ago

Hello all,

I’m 68 and my wife is 66. I have osteopenia and my wife has osteoporosis. I’m getting the Prolia shots and she’s taking a daily pill of some sort. We’re both taking BHRT. We’re are in the gym 3-4 days a week, cardio and weight training. My wife is also dealing with MCI. I’ve been reading about vibration plate therapy for increasing bone density. I also saw a NIH study which indicates the benefits to bone health.

Has anyone tried this or have any experience with vibration plate therapy?

There is at least one thread under Osteoporosis that addresses many experiences with and questions about vibration plates for op.

I use vibration therapy for spasms at a specialized PT center. It works well for my condition and insurance pays for it. Might search studies in Google scholar or the NIH website. Insurance coverage probably depends on it being FDA approved. You should be able to call your insurance company to find out.
