A method of inducing bone formation in a subject in need of such
inducement comprises the steps of mechanically inducing an increase in
osteoblast activity in the subject and elevating blood concentration of
at least one bone anabolic agent in the subject. The method steps may be
performed in any order, but in sufficient time proximity that the
elevated concentration of the anabolic agent and the mechanically induced
increase in osteoblast activity overlaps. The method may additionally
comprise providing the subject with an elevated blood concentration of at
least one antiresorptive agent, wherein the elevated concentration is
sufficient to prevent resorption of new bone growth produced due to the
osteoblast activity. Use of the method permits targeting of specific
bones of the subject for bone production and preservation, faster bone
production and earlier discontinuation of bone anabolic pharmaceuticals.
Kits adapted for performing the method are provided.
