Vibration Plate Therapy for increasing bone density

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.

@gravity3 hmm. I’m looking for this now

Did you find a safe vibration plate?

@gravity3
any idea where to find this thread?

tamer: The Royal Osteoporosis Society article on Vibration Plate Therapy. Hope this helps.

Put vibration into search box under main category Osteoporosis.

I just started BioDensity training sessions which includes 4 specific exercises on the BioDensity machine and then exercises on a Power Plate vibration plate. I am also doing some exercises at home. I’m hoping to improve or at least stabilize bone loss with this program. I’m told by the trainer to give this program two years. I’m very hesitant to start any prescription medications.

Welcome. What is your dexa score? How will you track any changes if you make that 2 year commitment? Has there been research done and if so, can you post the links thanks.

Links are great. Search criteria brings too many results
