ABSTRACT
The therapeutic possibilities at the physician’s disposal foresee the use of both chemical and physical energies. While the use of chemicals (drugs) and ionizing electromagnetic energy for disease treatment has been well dened in different branches of medicine and surgery, this has not been the case for nonionizing electromagnetic energies. Clinical biophysics is the branch of medical science that studies the action process and the effects of nonionizing physical stimuli utilized for therapeutic purposes. The principles underpinning clinical biophysics entail the recognizability and specicity of the physical energy applied on the skeletal tissue, that is, biophysical stimulation (BS).
