Diathermy Shortwave

Short-wave diathermy (IR diathermy) is a treatment method that uses high-frequency electromagnetic radiation to heat tissue. This method is used in medicine to treat various diseases such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, sciatica, joint inflammation, as well as to improve blood circulation and wound healing.

Short-wave diathermy is based on the principle of induction. The high-frequency electromagnetic field creates an induction current in the tissue, which leads to heating and increased blood flow. This helps reduce inflammation and improve tissue healing.

To carry out IR diathermy, special devices are used - IR emitters. They generate high-frequency electromagnetic waves that penetrate tissue and heat it. The radiation power is adjusted depending on the type of disease and the individual characteristics of the patient.

The benefits of IR diathermy include safety, painlessness and effectiveness. It does not require surgery and does not cause complications associated with traditional treatment methods. Additionally, this method can be used to treat patients who cannot tolerate other treatments, such as surgery or injections.

However, like any other treatment method, IR diathermy has its limitations. For example, it can cause burns if used incorrectly or if too high a radiation power is used. There are also contraindications for the use of infrared diathermy, such as pregnancy, pacemakers and metal implants.

Overall, IR diathermy is an effective and safe method for treating many diseases. It can be used either alone or in combination with other treatment methods. It is important to remember that before starting treatment you must consult your doctor and follow his recommendations.
