Pulsed shortwave

FEATURES

Equipment for continuous or pulsed radio emission for a thermal or athermal effect, the latter indicated in acute conditions. It has intensity control, treatment time and tune.

OPERATION

Shortwave therapy that relies to raise body temperature. It acts by induction and differs from convection or irradiated heat of conduction or contact heat, because these are a little depth.
It is based on the application at the body tissue of electric waves of very high frequencies (they are transmitted to the tissue by two metal plates lined with insulating rubber), which form a capacitive electric field. This occurs within the same tissue an elevated temperature. The biological effects derivatives of the described action mechanism includes a marked increase in metabolic rate, increased blood flow, increase tissue oxygenation, reducing nervous excitability, muscle relaxant, analgesic and antiinflammatory effect, decreased blood pressure, and increased sweating.
