Shortwave Diathermy Therapy

At Revine Naturopathy, we offer a special treatment called Shortwave Diathermy Therapy to help reduce pain, inflammation, and improve healing in the body. This therapy uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to create deep heat inside the muscles, joints, and other tissues.

How Does Shortwave Diathermy Therapy Work?

When you come for Shortwave Diathermy Therapy, two electrodes are placed on or near the area that needs treatment. These electrodes send electromagnetic waves through your body, which generate heat deep inside. This heat does a few important things:

1. Increases Blood Flow: The heat helps improve circulation, so more oxygen and nutrients reach the affected area.
2. Relaxes Muscles: It helps to loosen tight muscles and relieve stiffness.
3. Speeds Up Healing: By boosting the body’s natural healing processes, the therapy helps tissues heal faster.

What Can Shortwave Diathermy Therapy Help With?

At Revine Naturopathy, we use Shortwave Diathermy Therapy to treat many conditions, including:

• Arthritis: If your joints are stiff or swollen, this therapy can help reduce pain and increase mobility.
• Muscle Strains: It’s great for soothing sore muscles and speeding up recovery after injuries.
• Tendonitis: If you have inflamed tendons, shortwave diathermy can help reduce the swelling and pain.

What Happens During the Therapy?

Here’s what you can expect during a session at Revine:

• Placement of Electrodes: The electrodes are carefully positioned on the body where you feel discomfort.
• Heat Generation: As the machine sends waves through your body, you will feel a gentle warmth, which can help relieve pain and stiffness.
• Relaxation: The session is comfortable and non-invasive, usually lasting around 15 to 30 minutes.
