For over a decade, Dr. Kevin McKee has provided medical care to patients in the state of Ohio. A former member of the United States Air Force, Dr. Kevin McKee serves as a physician at Franklin Park Physical Medicine in Columbus.
Franklin Park Physical Medicine specializes in medical care and rehabilitation for patients dealing with auto and work related injuries. The center currently offers work related injury treatments that range from ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation to massage and diathermy treatments.
A deep heat treatment, diathermy treats muscle injuries located below the subcutaneous tissue layer. The treatment involves electromagnetic shortwave therapy that increases the elasticity of damaged tissue while relaxing muscles and increasing circulation. Benefits of the treatment include a faster healing process, increased range of motion, and fewer muscle spasms due to more relaxed muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Currently, there are three forms of diathermy treatment. These include shortwave, microwave, and ultrasound. While shortwave and microwave treatments both focus on tissues close to the skin, ultrasound diathermy treats deep tissue damage.
