Treating Muscle Spasms with CET & RET Diathermy
Why CET & RET Are Effective for Muscle Spasm Relief
Muscle spasms, often caused by overuse, injury, or poor circulation, can be painful and disruptive. RET CET diathermy offers a non-invasive solution using radiofrequency energy (448kHz) to relax muscle fibers, improve blood flow, and reduce neural overactivity. The CET (capacitive) mode targets the superficial layers—great for easing surface tension and warming tissues. RET (resistive) mode penetrates deeper, relaxing spasms at the muscular and neuromuscular junction level.
| Cause of Spasm | RET CET Response |
|---|---|
| Overuse or fatigue | RET relaxes deep muscle fibers |
| Circulatory deficiency | CET improves microcirculation |
| Trigger point or nerve sensitivity | RET reduces nerve irritability |
Best Applications of CET Mode for Surface Spasms
CET mode is ideal when muscle tightness is closer to the skin’s surface—such as in the upper back, neck, or shoulder blade area. CET generates gentle thermal energy, improving blood flow and helping muscles receive oxygenated nutrients.
| Area | When to Use CET |
|---|---|
| Neck & Trapezius | Tension from poor posture or desk work |
| Upper arms | Localized muscle fatigue |
| Lower back | Superficial spasms before sleep |
How RET Mode Treats Deeper Muscular Tension
When the muscle spasm originates from deeper fascia or joints (e.g., hamstrings, glutes), RET mode is more effective. Its deeper heat increases vasodilation and ATP production—relaxing even stubborn spasms. It’s also beneficial for athletes or individuals with chronic spasms that limit mobility or disrupt sleep.
| Deeper Tissue Area | RET Benefit |
|---|---|
| Hamstrings | Reduces tightness after sports |
| Glutes | Loosens chronic seated compression |
| Shoulder girdle | Relieves resistance from injury recovery |
Conclusion: Gentle, Targeted Relief for Spasmodic Pain
Whether spasms are superficial or deeply embedded in muscular layers, RET CET Diathermy provides a powerful tool for therapists and clinics to relieve pain and restore flexibility. Explore our advanced RET CET Diathermy machine designed for precision muscular treatments.
