 | | | Can a vibration plate deliver on its promises? | | We'll admit it. The science on vibration plates isn't totally there. | | A 2024 review broke down existing research. One study found potential to help alleviate chronic pain when used twice per week for 5 weeks. It was also linked to favorable outcomes for osteoporosis, weight loss, and type 2 diabetes. But these findings were preliminary and more research was recommended. | | Yet many people find them helpful. So, settle in for a little storytelling. | | Marie is a medically retired Navy veteran with injured knees, nerve pain that affects her entire right side, sciatica, and a ruptured spinal disc. Her nerve pain in particular was bad enough that she walked with a cane. She would often drop things with her right hand. She had a hard time being active. | | Enter a vibration plate, which she added to her regimen in hopes of increasing blood flow and relieving pain. She's not ready to pitch it as a cure-all, but after using one for a year, she does have a few thoughts. See what she has to say. | | | | | | | More stuff you might like | | | Until the next one,
