ABSTRACT:
A combined thermotherapy and electrotherapy technique in which directed toward the skin surface overlying a problem region in the body is a stream of air whose temperature alternates periodically from a high peak to a low value, the duty cycle being such as to allow internal heat transfer to take place in the intervals between successive high temperature peaks, whereby the temperature of the problem region is increased to an elevated level while the skin temperature remains at a tolerable level. Concurrently directed toward the skin surface and penetrating the body region is electromagnetic energy whose therapeutic effect on the problem region is enhanced by its elevated temperature.
