Diathermy

Diathermy enables deep tissue regeneration. New capacitive and resistive diathermy technologies allow fast and safe rehabilitation. Through constant innovation and modern technology, Faktor Zdravlje Polyclinic keeps up with new developments in physical and rehabilitation medicine.

The effects of diathermy include stimulation of cellular structures and enhancement of the natural processes of repair and regeneration of joints, muscles, tendons and fasciae. The method speeds up circulation and promotes the resorption of infiltrates and exudates. Diathermy methods reduce tension in tendons and muscles, reduce inflammation, relieve pain and improve joint mobility.

Capacitive diathermy is used for the recovery of soft tissues such as muscles (which offer less resistance), while resistive diathermy is used to stimulate the repair of harder tissues such as bone (which offer more resistance).

Diathermy has been used for many years in physical and rehabilitation medicine, rheumatology, neurology, orthopaedics and sports medicine, and constant improvements are making its effects ever safer and more targeted.
