Diathermy is a medical technique that involves using heat by high-frequency electric currents to stimulate the circulation, relieve pain, destroy unhealthy tissue, or cause bleeding to clot.
Ultrasound diathermy employs high-frequency acoustic vibrations which when propelled through the tissues are converted to heat. It is generally used to deliver heat to selected structures because there is a difference in the sensitivity of various fibers to the acoustic vibrations.
