shortwave diathermy

shortwave diathermy

Diathermy that delivers local heat to various tissues via shortwave frequency electromagnetic waves. Shortwave diathermy is used for chronic inflammation—e.g., bursitis, neuritis, osteoarthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, strains, tendinitis, etc.

Contraindications
