The method of applying high-frequency electric currents to the body for the purpose of alleviating pain is known as diathermy. This current creates an electromagnetic field that generates profound heat within the tissues. Short-wave diathermy finds application in treating specific soft-tissue injuries, joint disorders like osteoarthritis, and inflammatory conditions including sinusitis and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. It can also aid in expediting wound healing. However, it is crucial to avoid using this technique on individuals with metal implants or other immovable prosthetics, as well as on those with pacemakers.
