This principle of electrotherapy is based on the use of the centimeter and decimeter wave range, on the basis of which there is a classification of microwave exposure according to the wavelength used. The high-frequency electromagnetic field generated by the device for microwave therapy has a thermal effect in the process of converting electrical energy into heat, and non-thermal, arising as a reaction of the body to microwaves.
Waves of the centimeter range generated by the device for microwave therapy are characterized by a shallow depth of penetration. The impact of the decimeter type, on the contrary, has the ability to deepen and evenly affect the tissue - they are more effective.
The generalized effect of microwaves on the human body can be characterized as reducing pain and spasmodic manifestations, hypoallergenic, stimulating the immune system and resistance to inflammatory processes.
Microwave therapy devices can also be used to stimulate the endocrine system and normalize the emotional state (elimination of sleep disorders, stress, depression, general nervousness).
