Nothing has significantly helped children who are being treated for Crohn’s disease in regards to bone and muscle atrophy, except whole body vibration. This is after years of experimenting with various drugs and nutrition programs, most of which, are having little or no effect on these children’s bone and muscle density.
The reason for the lack of bone density in children with Crohn’s disease is unknown, but it is thought that steroids taken to control the disease can accelerate the problem. Until now, doctors were unsure how to reverse the effects of this devastating problem, but after years of study they have finally found that whole body vibration may be the answer. 
A new $3mm study called ” healthy vibrations” is under way and is being funded by the National Institutes of Health.
