Shortwave diathermy is a therapeutic technique that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat within the tissues, which promotes pain relief, muscle relaxation, and tissue repair. The heat generated by the shortwave diathermy device increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing by stimulating cellular metabolism.

Shortwave diathermy is commonly used for conditions like muscle strains, joint pain, arthritis, and soft tissue injuries. The therapy helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance the overall healing process. It can be applied to deeper tissues, making it an effective option for conditions affecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

This technique is typically safe and well-tolerated, offering significant benefits for patients in rehabilitation or those recovering from injuries.
