Radiofrequency Therapy
Targeted radiofrequency therapy is a new treatment that distributes high frequency electromagnetic energy into the desired tissue. The effect is a very deep heating effect to the desired tissue. It helps with muscle spasms, improving vascularisation to the area and promote healing to the desired tissue.
We will use a device to distribute high frequency electromagnetic wave into the body part that is injured. Through a conducting cream, the waves enter your body deep into the joints, ligaments, or the tendons that are injured. You will feel a warm sensation in the area and no pain should be expected.
Microwave Diathermy
Although superficial heat therapy is most often used as a physical therapy for treating low back pain (LBP), it has a disadvantage that it has a great effect of heating the skin and subcutaneous tissue and cannot penetrate deep tissue. Deep heat treatments such as microwave diathermy (MWD) are more effective in order to penetrate deep into the muscles and have a relaxing effect on the tissues. MWD uses electromagnetic energy to increase the kinetic energy of molecules and convert it into thermal energy to generate deep heat. MWD does not stimulate sensory and motor nerves due to its short pulsation period, and there is no risk of electrolyte burns.
