Members shared mixed perspectives on whether chiropractic care is safe with osteoporosis, with some visiting chiropractors regularly without issue while others were advised against it due to fracture risk, and one member even had a chiropractor identify a previously missed spinal fracture. Many members found significant relief through relaxation massage, describing it as helpful for pain, stress, and sleep, though they emphasized the importance of informing therapists about osteoporosis so adjustments can be made for gentler care. A recurring theme was the value of exploring different therapies like acupuncture, myofascial release, and hydrotherapy to find what works best individually, with members encouraging each other to pursue whatever brings comfort and relief.

My massage is relaxation massage for the most part and it really helps with the fibro. The chiro,is also very gentle; he knows my health issues and he has seen my bone density scans.

I see a Chiropractor once a month. They use gentle manipulation. I think it is helping.

Jane ANN,
MY ACUPUNCTURE gal said chiropractic is not good for Osteoporosis patients. She does combination of Myio Fascial Release with Acupuncture. Excellent pain relief!
