NuLife Med is a best-in-class medical equipment company providing enhanced therapeutic outcomes for recovery and rehabilitation for orthopaedic and podiatric patients in the eastern United States. In response to the physician’s prescription, we ship advanced therapy solutions to patients in the comfort of their own homes. We train patients in the proper use of those therapies and are their point of contact throughout the entire course of their therapy. This level of care, which is nearly unseen in the industry, ensures better compliance with the physician’s prescription while it provides deeper care for our physicians’ patients.
