EXPERIENCE OF TARGETED RADIOFREQUENCY THERAPY APPLIED IN MEDICAL RECOVERY

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents our interest in new therapies like Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy. Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy distributes high-frequency electromagnetic energy into the desired tissue which leads to selective tissue hyperthermia. Thanks to this mechanism patients experience instant pain relief, muscle relaxation, edema reduction, tissue regeneration support and healing. The most common indications include: local muscle spasm, trigger points, myalgia, tendinitis, cervical pain, and post-traumatic edema. The immediate therapeutic effect is noticed by the patient instantly and lasts long after the therapy. For elderly people to continue to function independently and perform daily activities, it is essential they maintain sufficient muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness. The effect of myorelaxation is primarily based on vasodilatation, which occurs immediately during the therapy and is responsible for higher supply of nutrients into the tissue. The goal of the present study is to highlight the medical effect in recovery by using the Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy. The main method used to fulfill this study has been even the implementation of the mechanism of action of Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy. The findings are regarding to the muscle relaxation, tissue regeneration and healing, pain relief. So, the Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy helps relieve trigger points and muscle spasms that prevent regaining the full range of joint movement. For example use of the Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy in combination with passive stretching of the shortened structures leads to their relief and immediately broadens the range of motion in the given segment. Combining the Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy and isometric or isotonic muscle contraction focuses the hyperthermia into the contracted muscle. Delivered radiofrequency energy facilitates these fibers and leads to their incorporation in the performed muscle stereotypes.
