OsteoStrong®

Your Skeleton, Reinforced

By Brittney Ryba

Imagine the day you can lift your grandchild without bracing for pain…or the moment your doctor tells you your bone density has improved enough to pause medication. These milestones can be lifechanging! For many people, OsteoStrong® is where they begin.

OsteoStrong® is designed for people of all ages and activity levels who want to improve their skeletal strength to support balance, posture, mobility, and overall vitality. Through a sciencebased process called osteogenic loading, OsteoStrong® helps the body safely and naturally stimulate bone growth in a controlled, measurable way.

OsteoStrong® uses osteogenic loading to safely apply pressure to the bones, triggering the body’s natural ability to grow stronger, denser bone. Sessions are quick, painless, and designed to promote results efficiently. Although some people have shown results quickly, for others it does take a little longer.  Bone health and bone growth is different for everyone. Furthermore, bone takes longer than muscle to develop.  It’s a three-step process: 1) stop current bone loss, 2) maintain current bone, 3) build new bone. Sessions are tailored to a variety of needs, including athletic performance, diabetes support, posture improvement, balance and fall prevention, and osteoporosis support.

This is a different kind of wellness experience. Unlike traditional fitness routines, OsteoStrong® sessions are quick, gentle, and don’t require hours at the gym or strenuous physical effort. You simply show up as you are and the team guides you through the entire process. Omaha is home to two OsteoStrong® locations: in Regency and in Lakeside.

Dave Jahn runs the OsteoStrong® Regency location. He discovered OsteoStrong® while searching for a meaningful way to improve people’s lives. After hearing about a woman who drove weekly from Lincoln to Sioux City for sessions, Dave brought the first location to Omaha. OsteoStrong® creates community, he notes, building friendships and changing quality of life. An 86-year-old member who plays the accordion in a band shared that getting his instrument in and out of his vehicle has been easier since he started OsteoStrong® sessions. 

Dr. Zachary Bauman and Ben Zitek own the Lakeside OsteoStrong® location. These longtime friends wanted to build a business rooted in health and wellness. Their interest deepened when Dr. Bauman’s active 72-year-old mother fell and injured her hip. Although her hip wasn’t broken, Dr. Bauman shares, she struggled with pain and relied on medication and injections. After trying OsteoStrong® in Sioux City, her pain disappeared and her DEXA scans improved. Her experience inspired her son and his friends to open the Lakeside location.

May is a great time to talk about OsteoStrong® because May is Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month. Osteoporosis is often called a “silent disease” because most people don’t know they have it until a fracture occurs. It’s the leading cause of fractures in postmenopausal women and older men, most commonly affecting the hip, spine, and wrist. Cancer treatments and certain medications can also weaken bone density.

After menopause, the body loses bone faster than it can rebuild it, and research shows that 1 in 2 women over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, up to 1 in 4 men over age 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture.

Once a fall happens, bone loss and mobility can decline quickly, increasing the risk of another fracture. Because daily bone loss occurs naturally, rebuilding bone strength requires targeted interventions like osteogenic loading.

OsteoStrong® also offers other wellness modalities to support vitality and recovery. Red light therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy restores cellular communication, giving you an energy boost. BioCharger NG utilizes various energy types to restore strength, stamina, coordination, and mental clarity. Compression boots support lymphatic drainage and toxin removal.

Vibration plate therapy supports bone density and helps improve sensation in the feet, which is especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes. The HydroMassage Bed (at Lakeside) offers a unique therapeutic experience, using heated water jets to promote relaxation and relieve muscle soreness. The REMS Echolight Scan technology (at Regency) is a radiation-free assessment that measures bone density and bone quality. 

OsteoStrong® at Lakeside member Sara Adams shares, “Despite decades of weight training and cardio, my first DEXA scan showed a Tscore of -3.8. I was devastated thinking about how this might limit time with my nine grandchildren. Instead of giving in to fear, I chose to advocate for my health. My followup scan showed dramatic improvement—from osteoporosis to osteopenia—with a Tscore of -1.7. I felt as though I’d been given my life back. I remain committed to this healing journey with OsteoStrong®, faith, and deep gratitude. Thank you to the entire team for giving me hope again.”

Strength and mobility don’t have to decline with age. With the right support, your body can do remarkable things. OsteoStrong® helps you rebuild that strength and community with just one weekly session.
