Description

Shortwave therapy is the application of electromagnetic energy to the body at shortwave frequencies. Shortwave therapy equipment normally uses 27.12 MHz to produce the desired deep heating effect on the tissues of the body.At these frequencies, electromagnetic energy is converted to thermal energy by the induction of circulating currents in the insulating tissue. The heating effect produced by Shortwave diathermy aids the healing process by generating heat deep within the tissue resulting in numberous benifical effects.Shortwave therapy is indicated for the following: A. Osteoarthritis Definition: Chronic joint disorders (knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, hand, foot and mandibular joints) Goal of treatment: Analgesia, tone reduction, stimulation of perfusion B. Chronic polyarthritis of the hip and shoulder Joints Definition: Inflammation of more than one joint Goal of treatment: Pain relief, lessening of inflammation C. Achillodynia Definition: Irritation of the Achilles tendon Goal of treatment: Stimulation of perfusion, elimination of functionally- impaired contractures, analgesia, trophic improvement D. Bechterew's disease Definition: Inflammatory, stiffening disorder of the spine and of the major joints Goal of treatment: Pain relief, local stimulation of perfusion, alleviation of muscular tension E. Bursitis Definition: Bursal synovitis Goal of treatment: Normal function without irritation
