Introducing a new prescription therapeutic treatment for low bone density

Treating osteopenia is a difficult challenge for clinicians. Most effective options are only indicated for osteoporosis, by which time the damage is already done. Osteoboost is a Class II De Novo Breakthrough Device—the first FDA-cleared prescription medical device proven to reduce the loss of bone density, and the first therapeutic (drug or device) ever cleared specifically to treat osteopenia.

High patient compliance

Adherence to the test protocol was 80%. Study completers averaged 4 sessions/week. When asked how easy was it to find time to use the belt 5x/week (on 10-point scale), trial participants rated it 7.8.

Clinical trial manuscript to be published soon

Our randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled clinical trial, led by Dr. Laura Bilek, PT, PhD at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, was designed with FDA input to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Osteoboost therapy on bone strength and density in postmenopausal women with osteopenia.

The research abstract has been published in JES. The full article has been accepted for publication and will be available in August 2024 via open access.

How to use Osteoboost with your patients

Integrate Osteoboost into your treatment protocol for patients with low bone density and track their success. Details for prescribing Osteoboost will be available soon.

1

SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

Invite patients at risk for, or diagnosed with, osteopenia to schedule an appointment (phone or office) to discuss the treatment protocol.

2

GET A BASELINE DEXA

If the patient hasn’t had a recent scan, order a DEXA, REMS, or CT scan to establish a patent baseline. Then redo the same test every other year to track progress and adjust treatment schedule.
