Relationship Between Changes in Biochemical Markers of Bone Turnover and BMD to Predict Vertebral Fracture Risk
Just in case you don’t believe me about bone mineral density not always correlating with fracture risk…
BMD
BONE MASS LOWERS RISK OF OSTEOPOROSIS – (12-27-06)
Low-Level, High-Frequency Mechanical Signals Enhance Musculoskeletal Development of Young Women With Low BMD
Our office, since this article triggered an interest in Whole Body Vibration, has since purchased one of the higher-end WBV units. The research behind this therapy is intriguing, but probably the strongest is in the region of increasing bone density, to the point where some researchers have suggested using this therapy in teens to build their bone mass as high as possible to lower the risk of osteoporosis decades later.
