TECAR therapy

How does it work?

TECAR therapy is a form of endogenous thermotherapy (it heals your body by creating heat inside it) based on radio waves. It is also known as "capacitive and resistive electrical transfer". There is a wide range of applications:

• To relieve pain and anti-inflammatory purposes, in the sense of breaking the vicious circle of pain (inflammation) stiffness;
• Improvements in joint mobility;
• Fibrinolytic effect;
• Reduction of bruises;
• Drainage of the effusions;
• Improvement in the treatment process;
• Reduce healing time, faster return to daily activities;

TRAUMATOLOGY

• Sprains, fractures and muscle tears.
• Post-traumatic pain (1 to 3 days especially without heat):
  • Pain relief;
  • Anti-inflammatory and anti-exact uses;
• For chronic post traumatic syndromes or recurrents:
  • Fibrinolytic effect;
  • Rupture of the vicious circle of pain / inflammation / stiffness;
  • Improvements in joint mobility.

RHEUMATOLOGY 

• Arthritis complaints:
  • Pain relief;
  • Deep drainage;
  • Improved mobility;
  • Acute and chronic tendinopathy;
• Epicondylitis;
  • Neck pain;
• Total acute and chronic pain in the low back;
• Capsulitis;
• Joint stiffness.

SPORT PHYSIOTHERAPY 

• For recent or long-term muscle stiffness, muscle pain, muscle damage:
  • Stiffness;
  • Sprains;
  • Tears;
  • Acute and chronic tendinopathy;
  • Enthesitis;
  • Chondropathy;
  • Post-traumatic outlets;
  • Muscle fibrosis and plantar fasciitis;

• Recovery and prevention.

What are the main benefits?

Endogenous thermotherapy is based on the principle of capacitive and resistive energy transfer (Capacitive - Resistive Diathermia) and has an action in the essence of biological tissues, activating the body's natural mechanisms for healing and anti-inflammatory processes.

Tecar therapy is a physical therapy that is part of endogenous therapy, capable of significantly reducing the recovery and rehabilitation period by stimulating the activation of the body's natural healing processes.

All this thanks to the application of the radio frequency current, which causes a thermal reaction in the tissues, which stimulates the body's natural healing response with an immediate anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect on muscles, tendons, cartilage or bone ligaments.

Both systems, Capacitive and Resistive, allow the therapist to easily adapt the therapy according to the type of pathology.

Capacitive transfer for high water content tissues (muscles);

The resistive transfer is for tissues with high resistance and low water content (bones, tendons, adipose tissue).

Additional information

TECAR therapy plays a role that is increasingly important in instrumental physiotherapy. This technology is actually widely used in athletics because it brings fast results. Improvements can be during the first procedure.

The name of this machine is an acronym from Transfer Electric Capacitive and Resist - T. E.C. A. R.

The procedure is not painful. The feeling is very pleasant. The effect comes quickly.
