Osteogenic Loading

Meaning

Osteogenic Loading is a biomechanical intervention that involves applying high-magnitude, brief, and targeted forces to the skeletal system to stimulate bone density and strength improvements. This physical stimulus, which must exceed the minimal essential strain threshold of the bone, signals osteoblasts to initiate new bone formation. Clinically, it is a non-pharmacological strategy used to prevent and manage osteoporosis and osteopenia, thereby improving long-term musculoskeletal and hormonal health. It directly harnesses the body’s mechanotransduction pathways to enhance skeletal integrity.
