Hi Gaurav.The place of shortwave diathermy to manage osteoporosis remain remote in the face of available modern research in physical rehabilitation.Exercise remain the mainstay in the management of various kinds of osteoporosis.U may not find shortwave diathermy in most physio clinics in the west just like therapeutic ultrasound as recent research no longer support their relivance in practice.The two machines are still very popular in Africa and the East.yelufem,BMR(PT).
