Mechanical loading
Animals onlyNot a drug
Pushing or pulling on a bone. Not a product — just the fact that a growth plate responds to the force across it.
Sustained force applied across a growth plate, either squeezing it or pulling it apart. Not a drug and not a product: the relationship between load and growth rate is a property of the plate itself, described for a century as the Hueter-Volkmann principle.
Risks. Load a growth plate hard enough and it cracks, and the growth it loses does not come back.
