Radiofrequency Diathermy in the Treatment of Acute and Chronic Pain - In-Person - March 14, 2026

- In this training you will gain sufficient knowledge to strategically select, within the therapeutic framework, the frequency, power, technique and duration of treatment to obtain an optimal result in pathologies that present with pain, both in acute and chronic states.

Diathermy is the most powerful non-invasive physical therapy with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and muscle-relaxant effects. This combination of effects, widely demonstrated, allows us to go beyond simply reducing pain, facilitating the regeneration of affected tissues when still possible and enabling us to obtain outstanding results in all types of pathologies.

- Viewing videos where you can see the correct way to use diathermy, applying standard, convex, automatic and myofascial manual electrodes.

"I have been working with diathermy equipment from different brands for more than 25 years. Currently, in our practice, we have 10 different devices, and I must admit that if they are applied correctly and we have an accurate diagnosis, excellent and in some cases even surprising results are obtained with all of them."
