Medium-wave diathermy treatment systems deliver controlled deep heat to targeted areas of the body using electromagnetic radio-frequency energy (0.5–1 MHz). Clinically, they help relieve pain, reduce muscle spasms, and improve joint mobility by increasing tissue temperature, making them useful in physical therapy, sports recovery, and orthopedic care.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices, often requiring compliance with electromagnetic safety standards and therapeutic efficacy guidelines. They are usually supplied as complete treatment units, including electrodes and a generator, and are intended for professional use in clinical or rehabilitation settings.
