Directed Diathermy
Diathermy is a therapeutic procedure in which electromagnetic energy in the microwave frequency range is applied to tissues, resulting in the generation of heat. This therapy has a healing effect on the musculoskeletal system. "Vertebra" clinic utilizes modern equipment for diathermy procedures.
Purpose of the Procedure
In translation from Greek, the word diathermy means "penetrating heat." Indeed, during the procedure, electromagnetic energy in the microwave frequency range affects tissues, leading to oscillations in intercellular fluid. As a result, the temperature of the skin and the underlying tissues increases by several degrees. There is no general heating of the body, and burns do not occur.
The main effects of the procedure include:
• Improvement of local blood circulation;
• Enhancement of lymphatic movement;
• Restoration of nerve conductivity;
• Acceleration of metabolic processes;
• Improvement of regeneration.

Procedure Features
The remote technique involves placing the wave generator at a distance of approximately 3-5 cm from the body. During the 10-20 minute procedure, a slight tingling, relaxation, and warmth are felt, which persist for several hours. To achieve the desired therapeutic result, it is necessary to undergo a course, typically consisting of an average of 10 procedures.
We look forward to welcoming you to our "Vertebra" clinic. Experienced doctors will conduct diagnostics and, taking into account the results obtained, select effective methods for restoring the musculoskeletal system.
