The term ‘Diathermy’ means to heat through Diathermy is applied using electromagnetic waves that produce heat, but are non-ionizing.Short Wave Diathermy is a heavy-duty machine mounted on castors for mobility in Hospitals and Clinics. It has a storage compartment with a locking arrangement for keeping the accessories. Radio waves in the short wave band have a frequency in the range of 10 MHz-500MHz.The Short Wave Diathermy is used widely to utilize the frequency of 27.12 MHz and wavelength greater than 11m. There are two Main Circuits of Short Wave Diathermy, which are coupled to get the proper effect. There are two Main Circuits of Short Wave Diathermy, which are coupled to get the proper effect.:- Oscillator Circuit and Patient circuit & nbsp.

Uses of Short Wave Diathermy

Physiological Effects of short wave diathermy

• Muscle Spasm: It is reduced by shortwave diathermy. This is helpful for pain relief.
• Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is resolved as a result of an increase in blood circulation, and aids the resorption of edema exudates.
• Infection: It increases the number of white blood cells and antibodies to fight the infective organism, thereby enabling the control of chronic infection.
• Delayed Healing: To promote the healing of open skin areas there is an increase in cutaneous circulation.
• Fibrosis: Heat increases the extensibility of fibrous tissues like tendons, joint capsules, and scars. This effect is produced by temperature increases within the therapeutic range.
