Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by decreased bone mass and progressive erosion of the microstructure. As a result, bone is at higher risk for developing chronic and traumatic fractures at key skeletal sites. Therapeutic ultrasound may offer a potential non-pharmacologic, site-specific intervention for treatment of osteoporotic bone loss.
