High frequency
- Use on alternating current (not direct) that is measured in hertz.
Flows in excess of 100,000 - 500,000 hertz. The current oscillates very fast and does not stimulate muscles or nerves
- There are two types of treatment from the same machine
- Direct high frequency
- Application directly onto the skin via a glass electrode using an
oxygenated cream (sodium perforate = solid oxygen) or gauze.
This when combined with moisture from the skin and heat from
the high frequency releases oxygen
- Performed once a week
- Indirect high frequency
- Client holds the electrode and current is transmitted through the therapists hands,
creates warmth. On the carlton machine do not exceed the setting to more than 10
clock
- Performed twice a week 24-48 hours apart
