Magnetotherapy is an equipment-based modality applied where suitable, as one part of a broader rehabilitation plan. [VERIFY: confirm this equipment is currently available at the clinic before publishing availability.]
Magnetotherapy applies magnetic fields to an area using a dedicated device and is used as an adjunct within a treatment plan.
