Whole Body Vibration and the Better Bones Protocol at Santa Clarita Chiropractor Dr. Thomas Polucki helped Jeri Seratti-Goldman find her osteoporosis cure.

By Dr. Thomas Polucki

Whole body vibration therapy uses a vibrating platform that gently shakes and vibrates your whole body when you stand on it.

The vibration is strong enough to stimulate muscle and some cellular activity.

Studies have shown Whole Body vibration therapy can be useful in treating the bone loss disease osteoporosis, the muscle loss disease sarcopenia and the metabolic disease metabolic syndrome.

Whole body vibration is also used in injury rehabilitation and high end sports performance training.

The idea of passively shaking a person as a form of exercise or weight loss was popularized by John Kellogg in the 1890s. This procedure persisted into the mid-1900s but was never scientifically accepted here in America.

Russian scientists were finding the bone- and muscle-sparing benefits of whole body vibration in their space program.

With no gravity in space, bones and muscles are not stimulated properly and start to break down, but vibrational stress slows that process, extending the time someone can safely stay in zero gravity.

German scientists used whole body vibration in their athletic training programs.

I have been using whole body vibration with some patients with serious neurological conditions, difficult knee, hip and back injuries, neck rehabilitation and osteoporosis.

My guest this week on the “Dr. Polucki Family Health Hour” is AM 1220 KHTS co-owner Jeri Seratti-Goldman, also one of my patients.

Within one year of starting my better bones protocol – which includes whole body vibration therapy, anti-inflammatory nutrition, bio-identical hormones and upper cervical chiropractic – she was able to turn her osteoporosis score around and no longer qualifies for the diagnosis.

Learn how she did it in my osteoporosis article.
