Induction method is primarily which type?

• A. Nonthermal
• B. Thermal
• C. Pulsed
• D. Continuous

Answer: (A)

Induction method uses a changing magnetic field to generate electrical currents in the body's tissues. When this energy is delivered in brief, low-energy pulses, the goal is to influence cellular activity and healing processes without causing a significant rise in tissue temperature. That means the primary effect is nonthermal, focusing on cellular and physiological responses rather than heating. While some systems can be used in continuous modes, the therapeutic emphasis in induction methods is on nonthermal mechanisms, with heating kept minimal to avoid thermal damage.
