A new look at a proven modality What is Shortwave Diathermy? Shortwave Diathermy is the clinical application of electromagnetic energy to generate heat deep within body tissues, penetrating deeper than other conventional heating techniques such as hot packs, infrared therapy and heating pads. It’s also more efficient in heating deep muscle tissue than therapeutic ultrasound. Shortwave diathermy’s deep, soothing heat treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions. The Intelect SWD100 is cleared for the following indications: • Pain Relief • Reduction of Muscle Spasm • Chronic Inflammatory...

Applicators Shortwave diathermy treatments can be applied using either the inductive field or the capacitive field method. Inductive Field Method A coil housed in a drum is placed over the body part where its magnetic field produces high frequency currents for effective deep heating of tissue and muscle with low impedance. Capacitive Field Method The body part is treated within the electromagnetic field of two plate electrodes, which warms superficial and high density tissues such as skin, tendon, ligament, joint capsule and bone more effectively. Capacitive electrodes require optional left side...
