diathermy

Diathermy is a medical procedure that uses high-frequency electrical currents to generate heat within body tissues. This heat can help reduce pain, relax muscles, improve blood flow, and promote healing. It’s often used in physical therapy to treat muscle or joint conditions. The procedure is typically done using special machines that deliver controlled electrical energy through electrodes placed on the skin. Because the heat is targeted internally, diathermy can effectively treat deep tissues without affecting the skin's surface. It’s considered safe when performed by trained professionals, and the heat stimulates the body's natural healing processes.
