In this article you can read which conditions magnetotherapy is suitable for. Here I write about how to apply magnetotherapy to achieve the best possible results.
I present a new treatment option in this article, non-invasive vagus stimulation (abbreviated tVNS). This is a neuromodulation method.

If you suffered a bone fracture, you know how frustrating a long recovery can be. The cast, limited mobility, and impatience about when you’ll be “back to normal.” The good news is your body can “weld” the bones back together — but the process takes time. The even better news: there are methods to support this natural healing process. One of them is magnetic therapy — or, in the scientific literature, PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy. In this guide you’ll learn how magnetic therapy can help bone fracture healing and how to use it at home.
