Bones grow and develop throughout childhood and adolescence, and in a person’s twenties bone mass increases by 15 percent. Every bone has a combination of compact tissue and spongy tissue, with the amount and proportion in constant flux. Some bones are so dense they appear solid, while others are primarily a complex webbing of bone tissue.
Two types of bone cells reshape bones. The “osteoclast” detects older or slightly damaged bone matter and slowly dissolves it, leaving behind a space. The “osteoblast” then moves into this space and spins out new bone matter to fill the space. With osteoclast/osteoblast equilibrium, bone mass remains stable. When the equilibrium shifts, bone mass is altered.
Bone, like all living tissue, requires adequate nutrition for proper growth. Physical stresses on a bone caused by gravitational pull and the contraction of muscle also stimulate it to increase in size. Most authorities agree that the best course of treatment is to treat the patients themselves, through homeopathic constitutional treatment, which takes into account any symptoms of imbalance that might be present.
