Low intensity vibration is a safe and effective treatment for osteoporosis

Low intensity vibration (LIV) could be used to safely and effectively treat osteoporosis, medical manufacturer LivMD has said. This follows numerous studies that have revealed the benefits of LIV as a viable treatment for osteoporosis. Research has shown that LIV delivers mechanical signals to the skeleton. This signal also has a positive effect on muscle function and health, and stimulation of the circulatory system.
