Radiofrequency diathermy for the treatment of acute and chronic pain - in person - March 28, 2026

- In this training, you will acquire sufficient knowledge to strategically select, within the therapeutic framework, the frequency, potency, technique, and duration of treatment to achieve optimal results in pathologies that present with pain, both acute and chronic.

- Diathermy is the most powerful noninvasive physical therapy with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and muscle-relaxing effects. This combination of widely demonstrated effects allows us to go beyond simple pain reduction, facilitating the regeneration of affected tissues, when this is still possible, and allowing us to achieve outstanding results in all types of pathologies.

"I've been working with diathermy equipment from different brands for over 25 years. We currently have 10 different brands in our practice. I must admit that if used correctly and with an accurate diagnosis, all of them yield excellent, and in some cases, even surprising, results."
