-
Used to treat a variety of diseases by heating the tissues beneath the skin with an electric current. - Technical
-
Diathermy treatment involves producing heat within body tissues by passing a high frequency electrical current through the part. Because of the very high frequencies employed, there is no muscular or nervous reaction. (ref. 1) Short wave diathermy induces currents within tissue without metallic contact with skin. Insulated applicators are used, spaced away from skin, promoting safety, comfort & convenience. - Area Notes
