- Abstract
- Thermotherapy is a medical treatment based on the specific lesion exposure to high temperature. In the case of therapeutic levels of hyperthermia, moderately elevated temperature to a supra-physiological level (typically 43°C-45°C) provides effect of cellular cytotoxicity that causes tumor necrosis. For many musculoskeletal disorders, the moderately elevated temperature could be useful for the treatment of pathology. The mild thermotherapy provides physiological benefits as increasing blood flow and pain relief [1].
