As we approach the holiday season, some may find ourselves traveling, having company, headed to warmer weather, or staying home for the holidays – and this year is proving to be changing a lot of our traditional plans.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. What a mouthful! Known as PEMF therapy for short, this particular modality has many uses.
