Shortwave diathermy
Shortwave diathermy uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to generate heat. It may be applied in pulsed or continuous energy waves. It has been used to treat pain from kidney stones, and pelvic inflammatory disease. It's commonly used for conditions that cause pain and muscle spasms
What is diathermy?
Diathermy is a therapeutic treatment most commonly prescribed for muscle and joint conditions. It uses a high-frequency electric current to stimulate heat generation within body tissues.
The heat can help with various processes, including:
increasing blood flow
relieving pain
improving the mobility of tissues as they heal
What are the benefits of diathermy?
Treating injuries with heat can increase blood flow and make connective tissue more flexible. It can also help minimize inflammation and reduce the incidence of edema, or fluid retention.
By increasing blood flow to the site of an injury, the deep heat generated with diathermy can accelerate healing.
Diathermy is used to treat the following conditions:
arthritis
back pain
fibromyalgia
muscle spasms
myositis
neuralgia
sprains and strains
tenosynovitis
tendonitis
bursitis
