Important!
Continuous mode
Plate electrodes (large) – rubber electrode
Transverse irradiation of liver region
Ventral: 3 cm – 4 cm
Postoperative: 3 min
Dosage: 2
Every other day
The short-wave treatment is not the primary method for
gallstones and dyskinesia of the bile ducts. It serves only to
positively support neural therapy.
Continuous mode
Plate electrodes – rubber electrode / diplode (full contact)
Above the liver
Ventral: 2 cm – 4 cm
or diplode (full contact)
5 min – 10 min
Dosage: 2
Every other day
Use heat therapy only in the posticteric stage. Note that the
liver is better supplied with blood when the organ is in
horizontal (not vertical) position.
Never irradiate acute hepatitis conditions (danger of life-
threatening exacerbation)! No hot full baths (this results in
significant reduction of perfusion of the liver)!
Dorsal: 6 cm – 7 cm (rubber
electrode and terry towels)
