Tecar Therapy
What is
TECAR (Capacitive and/or Resistive Electric Transfer) therapy uses heat for therapeutic purposes. The TECAR equipment stimulates the energy within the tissues to activate the body’s natural healing and recovery processes. This therapy is non-invasive, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and very effective in helping to heal muscle and tendon pain and joint swelling more quickly. Unlike therapies that use heat from an external source (ultrasound, laser, infrared) TECAR stimulates the production of local heat, right in the painful areas, relaxing joints, ligaments, cartilage and soft tissues.
How to apply?
TECAR equipment uses a plate electrode, which is placed on the opposite side of the body area to be treated. Another movable electrode is passed in circular movements over the painful area, transmitting currents, with the help of a conductive cream. The device is set by the therapist to the desired parameters according to certain criteria and the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the therapy, only a slight warming of the area. Stimulating the energy within the tissues activates the body’s natural healing processes, with a rapid anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
What conditions does it treat?
TECAR therapy is frequently used in physiotherapy and physiotherapy to treat muscle contractures, strains and tears, contusions, enthesitopathies, myositis. TEACAR therapy also provides excellent results in the treatment of various spinal and joint pathologies: lumbago, low back pain, interscapular pain, torticollis, disc disease, cervicalgia, shoulder tendinopathy, retractile capsulitis, locked shoulder, bursitis, epicondylitis, epitrochleitis, coxarthrosis, total hip replacement, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, dislocation fractures. In medical recovery, TECAR therapy is used pre- and post-operatively, in inflammatory processes at the muscle-tendon junction, as well as in chronic conditions or post-traumatic sequelae.
Benefits
Teak therapy can accelerate the body’s natural regenerative processes and, in particular, cellular repair, reduce pain and accelerate recovery from trauma.
Reduces recovery time by speeding up the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Avoid the side effects of certain drugs, such as anti-inflammatories and painkillers.
It has the potential to improve running performance and prevent injuries in athletes.
Enhances the body’s natural healing and speeds up recovery.
Tecar therapy combines both manual therapy and electrotherapy techniques to maximise microcirculation, blood flow and healing capacity.
Increases vasodilation
Increases indoor heat
Increases blood circulation
Increases tissue oxygenation
Stimulates the body to heal itself
Stimulates lymphatic drainage
It is an endogenous thermotherapy
