BioFlex Laser Therapy for Strengthening Weak Bones and Muscles

The low-intensity laser therapy directly stimulates the bone cells, where it accelerates the repair and improves healing. LLT is absorbed within the cells, where it triggers a cascade of physiological reactions and stimulates ATP production. 

It also enhances vasodilation, which in turn results in the stimulation of osteoblasts by increasing BMP-2 or bone morphogenic protein. This BMP also enhances the formation of osteonectin, osteocalcin, and collagen. The use of LLT results in improved mineralization processes through BMP and IGF-1 production.

Low bone density in patients with conditions such as osteoporosis can be improved through the use of laser therapy.

Conclusion

Other than the aforementioned foods that make your bones strong, you need to consume vitamin D from sun exposure or consume vitamin D supplements. People who are at increased risk to suffer from weak bones and muscles include; housebound people, people who cover themselves completely while going outdoors, people who restrict their daily activities, women after menopause, older people, and others.
