Shortwave therapy use the effect of an electromagnetic field on the different tissues. The nature of the electromagnetic energy ensures that it is absorbed in particular by tissue with a low impedance, such as well-vascularised tissue (muscle tissue) and tissue with oedema or a recent haematoma. The uptake of this energy promotes tissue repair and improves blood circulation. Shortwave therapy exerts very little stress but works very deep inside the body.
With shortwave and microwave therapy there are possibilities for continuous shortwave therapy and pulsed shortwave therapy. With continuous shortwave therapy the subjective feeling of heat is prominent, the real diathermy. The purpose of this treatment method is to promote the circulation and stimulate the metabolic processes. The therapeutic effect of heat has been used since the start of medical science and the equipment for shortwave and microwave therapy allows this heat to be applied very precisely and locally.
Shortwave therapy can also be used a-thermally. High peak capacities are issued in very short bursts. These are followed by relatively long rest periods. This process intensively stimulates the tissues without the patient being aware of the thermal effect. Pulsed shortwave can thereby have an effect very deep inside the body without any adverse surface tissue reactions.
