FAQS
Frequently asked questions
You’ve got questions, we have answers. In fact, one of our primary objectives at OsteoStrong is to help our clients make informed decisions about bone health so that they can lead healthy lives.
We’re here to deliver transparent, trusted information about OsteoStrong, its technology and the science that supports it.
about our sessions
Can I try a free session to see if I like it?
Absolutely! We want you to experience a free session so that you can see how quickly your body will respond to our system. Click here to request your FREE SESSION.
Can I do more than one OsteoStrong session per week?
Our research shows that coming in more frequently actually slows the results of osteogenic loading. Ideally, members hit loads of 4.2 multiples of body weight or more, triggering a bone adaptation. A bone adaptation requires time to grow.
Bone is slower to change than other tissue. Results have been seen in as little as one year but results can take several years. Muscle strength, balance and increased energy which decrease the risk of fall and injury are often seen in months.
Does health insurance cover OsteoStrong?
Traditional health insurance in the United States does not typically cover OsteoStrong sessions. However, Medical Savings Accounts can be used in many cases. Also, OsteoStrong sessions are generally less expensive than most insurance co-pays.
Can I do other exercises along with my OsteoStrong sessions?
Yes, and you will see great results if you do both. However, it is recommended that you not do a workout immediately prior to your OS session. Remember, OsteoStrong strengthens your skeletal system. Your muscular strength will be unleashed once your mind senses your skeletal system is capable of handling stronger muscles.
About health
Can I just increase my skeletal strength and bone density with weight training or other exercises?
Sadly, the published research on this topic does not indicate that strengthen your bones through convention exercises or weight training is likely. A study published in 2012 identified that the minimum force required to trigger bone growth is 4.2 multiples of body weight (4.2 MOB). Engaging in that amount of force safely, outside of an OsteoStrong® center is not recommended for most people. The good news is that our proprietary Spectrum System safely allows clients to experience much more than the 4.2 MOB minimum to trigger the skeletal building response people are looking for.
Is it safe to do OsteoStrong sessions if I have osteoporosis?
Yes, many showing T-scores as low as -4 from their DXA scans do sessions at OsteoStrong. As with all medical conditions, we encourage people to consult with their physician prior to starting sessions at OsteoStrong.
How long until I start feeling the results?
Results vary from person to person, but the following are some general rules for what our members experience:
Joint and back pain. Joint and back pain. Generally, people experience a sensation of joint and back pain relief in 1 to 12 sessions. Of course, with any physical condition that causes you concern, we recommend that you ask your doctor prior to engaging in sessions at OsteoStrong.
Once your pain is gone, regular sessions will continue to develop the joint, bone and surrounding support tissue. It is highly recommended that you continue sessions to help prevent the return of your joint and back pain.
Skeletal strength or bone density increases can only be seen on a bone density scan. It usually takes 6-12 months from the time you start with OsteoStrong® for your DXA scan to show increases in bone density.
Balance improvements. Most people notice improvements in their personal balance in just one to two sessions and it generally improves for several sessions afterward.
Muscular Strength. Most people, regardless of fitness level, feel the gains in overall strength in about 4 sessions. Regular sessions seem to continue strength gains for many years. Some people may have periods of plateauing in their measured strength gains. Have patience when this happens to you!
Can I use OsteoStrong if I have had a hip or knee replacement?
Yes, OsteoStrong® actually helps strengthen the bone around your hip or knee replacement. We are also great for preconditioning before these types of surgeries. As with all medical conditions, we encourage people to consult with their physician prior to starting sessions at OsteoStrong.

Healing Modalities
PUREWAVE PEMF MAT
PureWave is a leader in Bioenergetics; the science of how energy is transferred in cells, tissues, and organs. These processes have a fundamental influence on our health.
HYDROMASSAGE
Harness the healing power of water therapy.
Similar to a powerful shower massage without getting wet, HydroMassage uses waves of heated water to provide an experience that’s especially effective after an osteogenic loading session. In addition to helping relieve any tension or stiffness, it also can enhance your overall feeling of well-being and relaxation.
BIOCHARGER
Enhance your energy and overall well-being with energy medicine.
BioCharger is a subtle energy revitalization platform that uses four types of transmitted energy—light, Voltage, frequencies, harmonics and Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Fields (PEMFs)—to stimulate and invigorate the body. A touch-free, safe, rejuvenating full-body treatment, BioCharger supports the recovery of strength, stamina, coordination and mental clarity.
NORMATEC BOOTS
Increase circulation, reduce soreness and maximize the benefits of your osteogenic loading session.
In the world of PPDC devices, NormaTec is an undoubted leader. Its professional grade recovery systems are portable and easy to use, giving our members the benefits of targeted pulse compression after their osteogenic loading sessions. The devices use three key techniques—pulsing, distal release and gradients—to maximize recovery between training, after performance and from injury.
VIBE PLATE
Engaging every tendon, muscle and cell in building bone density.
At OsteoStrong, we use the VibePlate™ both before and after an osteogenic loading session to maximize our members’ experience. Before osteogenic loading, a VibePlate™ session activates muscular tissue, increases circulation and up-regulates the Human Growth Hormone. This helps members to get the most out of their Spectrum circuit. After a session, VibePlate™ enhances the benefits of osteogenic loading on balance.
JOOVV RED LIGHT THERAPY
Stimulate healing and improve bone health with red light therapy.
Red light therapy is a simple, non-invasive treatment that delivers red and near-infrared light to a person’s skin and cells. A red light therapy home device like a Joovv uses LEDs to shine red and near-infrared light on your body during a treatment session.
A class II medical device, Joovv delivers red and near-infrared wavelengths directly to the body using medical-grade LEDs. These wavelengths trigger a chemical reaction in the cells’ mitochondria that, in turn, boosts ATP energy and enhances cell triggering. Red light therapy has been shown to enhance members physical performance and balance the body’s inflammatory effects by boosting cellular energy and cutting down on oxidative stress. This can help decrease joint pain by improving blood flow to damaged tissue and has been shown to improve osteoarthritis in numerous peer-reviewed studies.
