Chattanooga INTELECT SHORTWAVE 400

A. Osteoarthritis

Definition: Chronic joint disorders (knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, hand, foot and mandibular joints)
Goal of treatment: Analgesia, tone reduction, stimulation of perfusion

B. Chronic polyarthritis of the hip and shoulder Joints 

Definition: Inflammation of more than one joint
Goal of treatment: Pain relief, lessening of inflammation

C. Achillodynia 

Definition: Irritation of the Achilles tendon
Goal of treatment: Stimulation of perfusion, elimination of functionally- impaired contractures, analgesia, trophic improvement

D. Bechterew’s disease 
Definition: Inflammatory, stiffening disorder of the spine and of the major joints
Goal of treatment: Pain relief, local stimulation of perfusion, alleviation of muscular tension

E. Bursitis 
Definition: Bursal synovitis
Goal of treatment: Normal function without irritation

F. Distortions, dislocations, contusions 
Definition: Twisted joints, overextended joints, sprains, dislocations (luxation), crushing, injury due to brute force (contusion), always consider the possibility of fracture
Goal of treatment: Pain relief, local stimulation of perfusion hematoma resorption, luxations must first be setand immobilized until capsules are healed

G. Epicondylitis 
Definition: Tennis elbow, inflammation of tendon attachments on cubital or radial part of elbow joint (humeral)
Goal of treatment: Pain relief, elimination of irritation

H. Facial paralysis (peripheral) 
Definition: Paralysis of the nervus facialis
Goal of treatment: Accelerated healing, facilitation of new innervation

I. Fracture 
Definition: Broken bones
Goal of treatment: Accelerated callus formation, especially in case of fractures that heal poorly

J. Intercostal neuralgia
Definition: Nerve pain. Acute, painful irritation starting from the thoracic spine; Possible causes of this are nerve root compressions and acute blockages in the area of the kinetic elements or the joint faces of the vertebral bodies
Goal of treatment: Pain relief

K. Ischialgia 
Definition: Pain in ending of nervus ischiadicus, always radicular, usually caused by damaged intervertebral disc
Goal of treatment: Analgesia, tone reduction, hyperaemisation of the affected muscles

L. Contracture 
Definition: Loss of motion in a joint due to the shortening of soft tissue
Goal of treatment: Physiological joint motion and muscle length

M. Lumbago 
Definition: Muscle pain in the lumbar region, lumbar rheumatism
Goal of treatment: Elimination of the painful muscle tension, tone reduction

N. Myalgia 

Definition: Muscle pain
Goal of treatment: Freedom from pain, full muscular function, tone reduction

O. Neuralgia / neuritis 
Definition: Nerve pain, nerve inflammation
While neuritis is characterized by clear symptoms of dysfunction, neuralgia refers to conditions where pain is primary, normally during the night
Goal of treatment: Pain relief, acceleration of healing and regeneration without loss of function, inflammation stop

P. Frozen shoulder 
Definition: Shoulder pain accompanied by limitation of movement
Goal of treatment: Freedom from pain, stimulation of perfusion, full joint movement

Q. Periostitis 

Definition: Cortical osteitis
Goal of treatment: Pain relief, inflammation stop

R. Raynaud ́s disease 
Definition: Acute arterial blood supply in the fingers (angiospasms)
Goal of treatment: Reduction of the frequency, intensity and duration of the attacks

S. Spondylosis / osteochondrosis 
Definition: Arthrosis of the vertebral bodies
Degeneration of the intervertebral discs
Goal of treatment: Freedom from affliction, retardation of degeneration, muscle relaxation, stimulation of perfusion

T. Sudeck ́s dystrophy 
Definition: Fracture disorder, healing decompensation. Dystrophy refers to a dystrophic alteration of the extremities occurring especially after fractures and operations
Goal of treatment: Slow, careful improvement of the metabolism of the extremity; Prevention of atrophy and stiffness of joints

U. Tendovaginitis 
Definition: Inflammation of tendon and sheath; Painful grating or chafing of the affected tendon after overstraining or dull trauma
Goal of treatment: Inflammation stop, pain relief, free movement function

V. Cervical syndrome 
Definition: Post-traumatic neck syndrome; Refers to afflictions beginning in the cervical spine that can emanate into the shoulder muscles or arms
Goal of treatment: Pain relief, stimulation of perfusion, specific relaxation and stretching of tense muscle groups
