Shortwave Diathermy (SWD)

Joints or muscular pain is a common condition affecting millions of people worldwide. It can be caused by various factors, including

  • Overuse
  • Injury
  • Age-Related Problems
  • Underlying medical conditions.

One effective treatment option for Joints or muscular pain, commonly known as Shortwave Diathermy (SWD)

SWD stands for shortwave diathermy, a type of heat therapy that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to generate heat within the tissues. The heat produced by Shortwave Diathermy (SWD) helps to increase blood flow to the affected area, reduce pain, and promote healing.

How do we use  Shortwave Diathermy (SWD) treatment?

Assessment and Diagnosis:-  Before starting SWD physiotherapy, a physiotherapist will assess and diagnose the cause of shoulder pain. The assessment process may include physical examination, medical history, and diagnostic tests such as X-rays and MRI scans.

Treatment Plan:-  Based on the assessment, the physiotherapist will develop a personalized treatment plan that includes SWD physiotherapy and other techniques such as stretching, strengthening exercises, and joint mobilization, etc.

SWD Physiotherapy:-  During an SWD physiotherapy session, the patient lies down comfortably while the physiotherapist applies a device that emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves to the affected area. The device may be placed directly on the skin or over a towel or pad. The duration and frequency of the treatment depend on the patient’s condition and response to therapy.
