What is Shortwave Therapy?

Shortwave therapy is the application of electromagnetic radiation between 2MHz and 100MHz, which converts to heat in the body by induction with circulation of currents in the tissue. While conventional shortwave therapy provides this radiation continuously, pulsed shortwave therapy generally provides in in pulses of between 20 and 400 microseconds (millionths of a second) with a pulse frequency between 5Hz and 800Hz. This therapy has been found to hold a number of benefits, particularly in early recovery.

Which Frequencies Should Be Used?

To avoid equipment such as shortwave therapy units interfering with radio communications, certain frequency ranges are designated by international agreement as ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) bands. Generally, shortwave therapy equipment uses the band centred on 27.12 MHz.
