Hi, I was getting sever pain in my back hence as recommended by a doc to a physotherapist. He did put me on diathermy for 10 min for 2 day unfortunately I was wearing a gold ring in my finger and a belt having a steel buckel but not tight to my stomach . The heating pads were on my neck and lower back having no metal between the pad n my body. I was pretty tensed if this would upset my body since I have heard diathermy is very bad. Pls advise
Heloo patient, you may get MRI to ascertain disc position.  In my opinion you are having disc slip.  Advise taking magneto therapy treatment from a specialist.  Advice;---- 1. Place south pole of med power magnet on paining back.  2. Place small North Pole near thumb of both leg.  Keep this position 4 half an hour --B. D for 15 days.  3.  Chat Doctor.  Though all caution taken, but u may consult magneto therapy specialist.
