A Natural Treatment for Osteoporosis- Whole Body Vibration

In: Whole Body Vibration

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures.  These fractures are most common in the hip, spine, and wrist, although any bone can be affected. 

Osteoporosis is a major health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans.  In the U.S. today, 10 million individuals are already estimated to have the disease and almost 34 million more are estimated to have low bone mass placing them at an increased risk for Osteoporosis.   Osteoporosis is thought of to be an older person’s disease, but it can happen at any age. 

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends the following to optimize bone health and help prevent Osteoporosis. 

  • Get the Daily recommended amounts of Calcium and Vitamin D.
  • Engage in regular weight bearing and muscle strengthening exercise.
  • Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoking.

Whole Body Vibration has been shown to increase bone mass and should be considered as a natural treatment for Osteoporosis.  When standing on a Whole Body Vibration platform, the body tissues are rapidly accelerated and decelerated multiple times (5-50) every second.   This rapid acceleration/deceleration creates a weight bearing load that places stress on bones, which results in increased bone mass.  The physiological benefits of weight bearing exercise are achieved in an extremely shortened time frame.   Vertical Vibration has been proven to be the most effective for enhancing bone density because the user’s entire body weight is mobilized on each vibration cycle.

Treating Osteoporosis was the original application for Whole Body Vibration when it was invented 50 years ago.  Whole Body Vibration is a safe, natural way to optimize bone health and help prevent Osteoporosis.
