Frequently Asked Questions

Can I walk in for a session or do I need to schedule?

Our sessions are by appointment only, scheduled approximately every fifteen minutes, with only a few members in the center at the same time. This is necessary so that there is always a highly trained certified session coach assisting you.

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: 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. In some cases, it may take longer depending on the person.

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 show continued strength gains for many years. Some people may have periods of plateauing in their measured strength gains. Have patience when this happens to you!

How much does it cost?

We have different month-to-month plans that range in price with unlimited add-ons included. Here is how our prices compare with other popular therapies:

Does health insurance cover OsteoStrong?

Traditional health insurance in the United States sometimes covers OsteoStrong, depending on the type of insurance you have. We do not submit to insurance on your behalf. Flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts can be used in most cases.

Is it safe for people with osteoporosis?

Yes, many people with T-scores as low as -4 from their DXA scans do sessions at OsteoStrong. Even in these extreme cases, members have completely reversed their osteoporosis without medication. As with all medical conditions, we encourage people to consult with their physician prior to starting sessions at OsteoStrong.

Does OsteoStrong do anything for weight loss?

Some, but the effect is only indirect. The primary engine of calorie burning is muscles, and OsteoStrong does trigger muscle growth. With new tissue, people process glucose better and burn more calories. But diet is still responsible for about 90% of weight loss. We can help improve the engines that burn more calories and process glucose, but true weight loss is going to come from improving your diet.
