Shortwave Diathermy
Shortwave Diathermy is a therapeutic technique that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat within body tissues. This method is commonly used in physical therapy to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve circulation. The heat produced can help relax muscles and increase blood flow, which aids in the recovery of injuries.
The treatment typically involves placing electrodes on the skin, which emit shortwave radiation. Sessions usually last between 15 to 30 minutes and can be tailored to individual needs. Shortwave Diathermy is considered safe when performed by trained professionals and is often used alongside other rehabilitation methods.
