Ultra High Frequency Therapy (UHF)



DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCEDURE

UHF (ultra-high frequency) therapy is a physiotherapeutic treatment method involving ultra-high frequency electromagnetic fields. It is a kind of treatment with heat penetrating human tissues and organs by means of special equipment.

HOW THE PROCEDURE IS PERFORMED?

There is no need for preliminary preparation for the procedure. And no need to take off clothes. The patient is laid on a wooden (only wooden!) couch on his/her left side. The plates are fixed, treated with an alcohol solution, and applied to the area. Then the plates are placed transversely, longitudinally, tangentially (on the same side) keeping a common gap up to 6 cm between them. This way the energy dissipation is reduced and the procedure efficiency increases. And then the dose of electromagnetic fluxes is selected. It depends on the patient's heat sensations and the device's output power.

The UHF therapy procedure takes 5-16 minutes. The treatment course consists of 10-15 procedures, carried out every day/every other day.
