Osteoporosis
At Extivita, we believe integrative medicine plays a critical role in supporting musculoskeletal health and addressing complex chronic conditions like osteoporosis. Our therapies aim to target contributing factors such as inflammation, oxidative stress, impaired circulation, and poor nutrient absorption—factors that can compromise bone integrity and healing.
Our treatment offerings are grounded in clinical research and focus on holistic, personalized approaches. Extivita provides therapies such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, Nutritional IV Therapy, and Infrared Sauna, all designed to support bone metabolism, improve circulation, and enhance the body’s natural regenerative capacity.
Understanding Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak, brittle, and more prone to breaking. While it often appears with age, it’s not just a natural part of getting older. It usually results from deeper issues like nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, poor circulation, and hormonal changes. Women after menopause are especially at risk, but men can develop it too.
To keep bones strong and healthy, the body needs a steady supply of essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium. Unfortunately, many people don’t get enough of these through their diet alone. Factors like poor digestion, reduced circulation, and certain health conditions can make it even harder for the body to absorb and use these nutrients effectively. In addition, chronic inflammation and oxidative stress—two silent internal processes—can gradually weaken bone tissue and slow down the body’s natural ability to repair and rebuild it. When blood flow is also limited, bones are deprived of the oxygen and nutrients they need, which can delay healing and contribute to long-term bone health issues.
At Extivita, we focus on addressing these root causes naturally. By improving circulation, reducing inflammation, delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream, and boosting cellular repair, our therapies aim to support your body’s natural ability to protect and rebuild bone. Instead of only managing symptoms, we help restore the internal balance that strong bones depend on.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Osteoporosis
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% medical-grade oxygen inside a pressurized chamber, typically at 2.0 atmospheres absolute (ATA). This process allows your blood plasma to carry much more oxygen than normal, delivering it deep into your tissues—even into areas with low circulation or inflammation. This extra oxygen helps promote healing, reduce inflammation, improve nutrient delivery, and support the body’s natural repair processes. These benefits make HBOT a powerful complementary therapy for people with osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis Support Benefits
Stimulates Bone Cell Activity
Oxygen plays a vital role in bone formation and remodeling. HBOT increases the oxygen available to osteoblasts—cells that build new bone—and may help improve their activity. This can support stronger, healthier bones over time.
Improves Circulation to Bone Tissue
Poor blood flow is common in aging and damaged bones. HBOT stimulates the formation of new blood vessels (a process called angiogenesis), which helps deliver nutrients and oxygen more efficiently to bone tissue—an essential step for healing and rebuilding.
Reduces Chronic Inflammation
Inflammation contributes to bone breakdown and slows down healing. HBOT has anti-inflammatory effects that reduce systemic inflammation throughout the body, helping restore a healthier balance between bone loss and bone growth.
Supports Healing After Fractures
For those who have already experienced bone fractures, HBOT can accelerate recovery. By increasing oxygen delivery to damaged tissue, HBOT enhances the body’s ability to heal broken bones and reduces the risk of complications.
Promotes Detoxification and Cellular Repair
Toxins and oxidative stress can interfere with healthy bone maintenance. HBOT helps support your body’s detox systems and encourages mitochondrial repair at the cellular level—providing an internal environment that’s more favorable for bone strength and stability.
IV Therapy for Osteoporosis
Nutritional IV Therapy delivers a targeted blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream—bypassing the digestive system for faster and more complete absorption. This therapy plays a key role in correcting nutritional deficiencies, reducing inflammation, and supporting cellular health—all of which are critical for maintaining and rebuilding strong, healthy bones.
How Nutritional IV Therapy Supports Osteoporosis
Replenishes Bone-Building Nutrients
Many people with osteoporosis lack essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K—nutrients that are vital for bone density and strength. IV Therapy provides these nutrients in a highly absorbable form, helping your body rebuild and maintain bone structure more effectively.
Supports Collagen Production
Collagen is a major component of the bone matrix and is essential for bone flexibility and strength. IV nutrients like vitamin C play a vital role in collagen synthesis. By supporting collagen production, IV Therapy may help reduce the risk of fractures and improve overall bone quality.
Enhances Calcium Utilization
It’s not just about how much calcium you consume—it’s about how well your body uses it. IV nutrients like magnesium and vitamin D improve calcium absorption and help direct it into bones rather than soft tissues, improving overall skeletal health.
Key IV Recommendations for Osteoporosis Support
Myers’ Cocktail IV
Components: B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Magnesium, and Calcium
- Vitamin C supports collagen formation, a key building block of bone structure, and helps reduce inflammation.
- Magnesium and Calcium are both critical for maintaining strong, dense bones—and when delivered together, they work more effectively to support skeletal health.
Glutathione IV
Components: Reduced Glutathione
- Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant. It helps combat oxidative stress, which can accelerate bone loss and inflammation.
- It also supports detoxification and cellular repair, helping the body maintain a healthier environment for bone remodeling and healing.
NAD+ Trio IV
Components:NAD+, Reduced Glutathione, Myers’ Cocktail
- NAD+ is essential for mitochondrial health and cellular energy—both vital for the bone regeneration process.
- When paired with Glutathione, it boosts antioxidant defenses, supporting long-term cell protection.
- Combined with the Myers’ base, this trio provides a complete wellness boost—helping your bones, immune system, and energy levels all at once.
Hydration IV with Zinc
Components: 500mL or 1000mL Normal Saline, Trace Mineral Add on (Zinc)
- Proper hydration is essential for transporting nutrients and maintaining healthy circulation.
- Adding trace minerals (such as zinc, copper, and manganese) supports bone formation, enzymatic activity, and collagen stability—especially helpful for aging bones.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy for Osteoporosis
PEMF Therapy uses low-frequency, pulsing electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular repair, improve circulation, and restore natural energy to your body’s cells. This non-invasive therapy helps increase oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing processes—making it an excellent complementary treatment for those managing osteoporosis.
How PEMF Therapy Supports Bone Health
Stimulates Bone Growth and Repair
PEMF Therapy has been shown to stimulate the activity of osteoblasts—cells responsible for building new bone. By encouraging cellular regeneration and bone remodeling, PEMF may support improved bone density over time.
Reduces Inflammation Around Joints and Bones
Chronic inflammation contributes to bone loss and joint discomfort. PEMF Therapy helps calm inflammation by regulating immune responses at the cellular level, supporting a more balanced environment for bone maintenance and joint mobility
Improves Circulation to Bone Tissue
Good blood flow is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to your bones. PEMF Therapy enhances microcirculation, helping your body transport essential minerals and oxygen to areas where bone strength is needed most.
Supports Cellular Energy and Healing
PEMF Therapy boosts mitochondrial function, which increases the body’s production of ATP—the energy source for every cell. This enhanced energy supports the repair of damaged bone tissue and strengthens the body’s overall healing capacity.
Infrared Sauna for Osteoporosis
Infrared Sauna Therapy uses infrared light to gently heat the body directly, rather than warming the air around you. This allows for a more comfortable experience at lower temperatures compared to traditional saunas, typically between 120°F and 140°F (49°C–60°C)²². The deep-penetrating heat promotes relaxation and overall wellness.
How Infrared Sauna Supports Bone Health
Reduces Joint Discomfort
Chronic inflammation can speed up bone loss and contribute to joint stiffness or pain. Infrared heat penetrates deeply into tissues, helping to reduce inflammation and improve blood flow around joints and bones. This promotes better mobility and comfort for those managing osteoporosis.
Enhances Circulation and Nutrient Delivery
Strong circulation is key for getting oxygen and nutrients to your bones. Infrared therapy increases blood flow throughout the body, helping to deliver calcium, magnesium, and other essential nutrients where they’re needed most—supporting bone strength and healing.
Supports Detoxification and Cellular Health
Toxins and oxidative stress can interfere with healthy bone function. Infrared saunas stimulate deep sweating, which helps the body release stored toxins. Regular detoxification reduces cellular stress and supports a healthier internal environment for bone maintenance and repair.
