Osteostrong Riverside-Mission Grove

Next month, it will be 3 years since I’ve been coming to Osteostrong. I had been searching for more natural solutions to my osteoporosis diagnosis a few years before. I really did t know where I stood with my osteoporosis and it was suggested I get an updated Dexa scan. Frankly, I was scared to know the outcome but when I did go for the scan a couple of months later, I was devastated! It showed I had a very low score of -3.9. Doctors wanted to put me on all sorts of meds or shots and told me it was a dire situation. However, my research of those drugs told me I really did not want to go that route and so I told them I had started Osteostrong and would simply increase my calcium and see where it would take me. Was I taking a leap of faith or just being foolish?? Well, jump ahead to July of 2024 and I just had the new Echo Light exam done. The results!!! I no longer have osteoporosis in my spine and moved into a better result of osteopenia in my hip. Praise the Lord! The Echo Light scan looks at your lumbar spine and hip just like the Dexa Scan. If Anyone wants to improve their bone density, I highly recommend Osteostrong. I’d say that’s the best benefit of all, but posture improvement, muscle strength and balance gets thrown in as well in the package. I’m a believer! The proof is in the tests!

I have definitely made a good choice. Osteostrong!! I am getting stronger with each visit and at the same time my bone quality is improving. I first discovered Osteostrong from a book called “Rebuild Your Bones”. The author highly recommends joining Osteostrong. My journey started here at Osteostrong Riverside Mission Grove, almost a year ago. I am going to continue my membership, it is a must. As I reflect back on this year, I have learned so much about bone health. I give credit to OsteoStrong’s staff. It is helping me through education giving me all the support I need and just knowing that I could take action in my own health, rebuilding my bones instead of doing nothing. I have the knowledge to make good choices instead of living in fear. I learned a new term this year, called Osteogenic Load. It means the amount of weight or “load” that is required for bone building. OsteoStrong is an effective tool for me to improve my bone density without taking prescription medications. I am 68 years old, I have my next Dexa scan scheduled in December of 2023. My past T-score showed 2.3 in my left hip, and 2.6 in the lumbar spine. I am looking forward to the new year to continue my journey at OsteoStrong. Today, I honestly have noticed a big improvement in my posture and how I stand. I saw a physical change in my appearance in the photos of myself, that were taken by my coaches at OsteoStrong throughout the year. I feel I am getting stronger and I am developing good muscle tone. It is a fun experience going once a week. I like meeting new people who understand and care. I like being able to connect with others in a safe place here at OsteoStrong!!

I have been going to Osteo Strong going on 8 months. I had my first DEXA scan 18 months ago revealing -2.7 osteoporosis in hips and femur. Last week, I had a new DEXA scan and it showed 4 - 10% increase in bone density except one are and a new score of -2.3, now osteopenia. In addition to Osteo Strong, I have of course followed all the other recommendations, More Calcium, more D, weight bearing exercise and I did have my first Prolia injection 6 months ago. However I have always taken extra vitamins and have always done weight bearing exercise. I must attribute some of my current success to the Osteo Strong program The team has been very cordial, informative, helpful, its actually a pleasure to go there. This if course is not a Dr. review, when I told my Kaiser Dr. before starting, she said go ahead, she had been hearing about it, cant hurt. I am very skeptical by nature, so I did go in with an attitude of ok I will try this cant hurt, don't know if it will help. You can read results above, I am sure that my weekly sessions at Osteo Strong have, in part, contributed to my success!

I LOVE Osteostrong Riverside! Saw them on Facebook and decided to give this place a try. I had been suffering for over a year with a stiff neck and nerve sensations and pain running down my shoulder and arm. The discomfort was continuous, affecting my sleep and work. Physical therapy didn’t help and I was considering seeing a chiropractor. Instead I started going to Osteostrong. Husband and wife owners Yazan & Dina are super friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive! But more importantly, I began to notice a change after only several sessions. I continued to go each week and in less than two months was back to normal with no symptoms. I’m amazed and tell everyone any chance I get!!! Worth every penny!!! Thank you Osteostrong Riverside Mission Grove!

Osteostrong is AMAZING! I was referred by a friend who witnessed the extreme knee pain I was having. I would become paralyzed, unable to move and it would bring me to tears several times throughout the day. I have been a member of Osteostrong for 7 months and man what a difference it has made. I was in so much pain I was going to my primary doctor or urgent care at least 2 times a week. I had X-rays and scans but they could not figure out what was causing my pain. All the doctors would do is prescribe me pain and nerve medication and when I would return they would just increase my dosages but it was not relieving my pain. They finally did an MRI. The MRI showed a potential tear in my meniscus so they referred me to physical therapy. The physical therapist did an evaluation and advised there was no way I would be able to do the movements I was doing if it was my meniscus so now we’re back to square one and not knowing what was causing my pain. Prior to my MRI I decided to give Osteostrong a shot and I am so grateful I did. 7 months later I am PAIN FREE, off all the pain and nerve medication and feeling better than I have physically in over 10 years. I am so thankful for Yazan and Dina, they have changed my life! I am healthier, stronger and pain free!

I decided to try Osteostrong for several reasons. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and wanted to see if I could do something besides medication. Also, my balance isn’t good and I’m not as strong as I once was. I feel as if I’m improving in all those areas. And, my energy is up! Two interesting things: for several months before I started Osteostrong, my ring fingers would get numb and pale for several minutes every day (Reynaud’s syndrome). That’s totally stopped. Also, the migraine headaches that I felt at the base of my neck, that occurred regularly, have stopped. So, I’m very happy with the results I’ve gotten. It’s a very pleasant place to go and the trainers are great!

Can't thank Osteostrong Riverside - Mission Grove enough for helping my mother gain her youthful energy back. It brings so much joy for my kids to see their grandmother have the energy and strength she had years ago. Since going to Osteo Strong, my mother has noticed a significant increase in her overall energy and strength. Not to mention less knee pain, which she has suffered from for years. She loves the fact that its once a week and the sessions are short. She had no idea this type of technology existed and that there are different options for wellness and improving your overall quality of life. The technology behind this concept is spectacular. Thank you Osteostrong Riverside - Mission Grove. You have been a true blessing to our family.

Started 1 1/2 years ago in chronic shoulder pain in both shoulders and loss of mobility. Today I have full mobility in my left shoulder and 70% in the right. I am able to exercise again and feel like myself again, better mood and increased energy. The docs said I needed a full shoulder replacement on the right because it's too damaged to repair but to wait as long as possible. I thought it'd be within the year but it's almost 2 yrs now and I don't anticipate surgery any time in the foreseeable future. Thank you Osteostrong for helping me get my health back on track!
