Apparatuses and methods for therapeutically treating damaged tissues, bone fractures, osteopenia, or osteoporosis

An apparatus for therapeutically treating tissue in a body, the apparatus comprising:

• a platform configured to support a body, the platform comprising:
• an upper plate;
• and
• a lower plate;
• a drive lever supported from the lower plate;
• a drive lever mounting block mounted to the lower plate and configured to support one end of the drive lever;
• a drive lever pivot point, wherein the drive lever is configured to rotate about an axis with respect to the drive lever mounting block;
• an actuator configured to actuate the drive lever with respect to the upper plate and lower plate at a first predetermined frequency;
• a damping member configured to create an oscillation force at a second predetermined frequency;
• and
• a damping member mounting block mounted to the lower plate;
• a damping member post mounted to the damping member mounting block, and configured to concentrically receive a spring;
• and
• a damping member platform mounted to an end of the drive lever, wherein one end of the damping member mounts to the damping member post and the opposing end of the damping member mounts to the damping member platform so that when the drive lever actuates, the damping member damps the drive lever actuation;
• and
• a distributing lever and configured to receive the oscillation force from the spring and to transfer a portion of an oscillation force to the upper plate.

• a distributing lever arm configured to receive the oscillation force from the spring and to transfer a portion of an oscillation force to the upper plate, the distributing arm comprising:
• a support mounted to the top plate;
• a crossover bar mounted to the drive lever and configured to transfer a portion of the oscillation force to the distributing lever arm;
• wherein the distributing lever arm receives a portion of the oscillation force transferred from the crossover bar, and the distributing lever arm transfers a portion of the oscillation force to the support.
