What are the different types of treatment of diatermia?

Three types of diaternum treatments include ultrasound, shortwave and microwave. Diatermia treatment is a form of physical therapy that focuses on damaged heat tissue to release tight tissue, increase blood flow and reduce swelling. This form of thermal therapy is usually used to treat muscle cramps or tension, solid joints and muscle and joint pain.

Ultrasonic Diatermical treatment uses high -frequency sound waves to generate heat deep in damaged tissue. During therapy, the affected area is covered with a special conductive gel and then a baton is dragged, which emits ultrasonic waves. The treatment session usually takes five to ten minutes. During the session, the patient will feel a warm feeling of armor, but will not endure any pain.

The treatment of short -wave diatermm uses high -frequency electric current to produce deep tissue heat. This form of diaternum is able to warm up large surfaces of the tissue and is best used to treat large puffy glass. Short -wave diAthermic treatment usually takes about 20 minutes.

There are two ways to apply shortwave diaternms, capacitor method and induction coil method. The capacitor method involves securing two electrodes for the patient so that the damaged tissue is located between the electrodes. The current then passed between the electrodes and warms the basic tissue. The inductive coil method warms the damaged tissue using whirlpools that are produced by an electric coil. Therapy is applied to the skin with a wand.

Microwave Diatermical treatment focuses on high -focused electromagnetic radiation, emitted from a wand, in a damaged area. This form of diatermia is best used for multiple localized injuries or small muscles. The microwave treatment takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

Diatermia treatment is often used to treat sports injuries such as tendon or sprains that show symptoms of muscle tension, bolessti or convulsions. This type of drug can also be used to treat solid joints and joint pain often associated with arthritis and bursitis. Thermal therapy helps to treat these problems by increasing blood flow to the damaged area and checking the swelling and softening of the joint tissue. This treatment can also accelerate the healing of the damaged area.

Thermal therapy should not be used by a patient who has an implanted pacemaker or device in the head to stimulate the brain. This form of treatment should also not be used if the patient has malignancy or fracture of bones near the area to be treatment with treatment. Pregnant women should also not use ultrasonic therapy.
