Short-wave therapy is an electrotherapeutic treatment in which high-frequency electric current is used to convert electrical energy into thermal energy directly in the body tissues.
Short–wave therapy operates in direct contrast to commonly used heat therapy or thermotherapy techniques in which heat is applied from the outside.
The high-frequency electromagnetic field created with Short-wave therapy generates eddy currents in the treated tissues, leading to molecular excitations and thus to the conversion of electrical energy into heat energy.
