ABSTRACT:
Osteoporosis in a living body prevented and/or treated by applying electrodes non-invasively to a body and supplying to the electrodes an AC signal of about 5-15 volts peak-to-peak at a frequency of about 20-100 KHz to cause a treatment current to flow in a body region affected or likely to be affected by osteoporosis.
