What is a diaternate machine?

Heat is a therapeutic tool used to alleviate pain problems and support relaxation. It is also a method of promoting the process of biological healing inside the body. A diaternate machine is a therapeutic device used to supply heat deep to specific parts of the body by means of a high -frequency current.

The most common form of delivery of heat to the body is using a damp heating pad. This method warms the skin and increases blood flow to the area. The heating pad can reduce the pain and relax tightness in the surface layers of the skin and muscles. On the other hand, the diaternate machine can get behind the skin and penetrate the deeper layers of tissues reaching basic tendons, bindings and muscles that can cause tightness, physical restrictions and pain problems. Using the heat produced by a high -frequency current, the diaternate machine can penetrate anywhere from about 1.2 inches to about 2 inches (three to five centimeters) deeper.

There are two different types of Datermical units. Short -wave of Diatermia useThe high -frequency electric currents, which are then converted into heat. The microwave diatermia uses the use of electromagnetic radiation in the form of wavelengths to create a deep penetrating heat. Both have the ability to induce relaxation and promote pain relief and healing by increasing the amount of blood flow to the area.

While traditional heat supply methods such as heating packages can be administered with the right measures, a diaternate unit requires a doctor. Contraindications or situations where a unit should not be used, involves things such as changes in feelings for heat or circulation problems, infections and some health conditions such as cancer because it can increase the risk of spreading. Due to its highly specialized delivery of heat, damage in Thpokud is improperly administered a form of burning of tissues or basic structures.
