Treatment Equipment
Short Wave Therapy
A physical-therapy device that applies a high-frequency electromagnetic field to a localized area, producing a thermal effect used to help manage inflammation and pain and support tissue recovery.
Core Function Highlights
- Deep Thermal EffectHigh-frequency electromagnetic energy is applied through a capacitive or inductive field. Movement and friction of charged particles generate heat within deeper tissues such as muscles, joints, and ligaments.
- Pain ManagementThe thermal and neuromodulatory effects may reduce nerve excitability and muscle spasm and are used to help manage pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, lumbar muscle strain, frozen shoulder, soft-tissue injury, and neuritis.
