TECAR therapy

What is TECAR therapy?

TECAR (Transfer from Energy Captive and Resistive) is a therapy based on the use of high-frequency electromagnetic energy to generate heat in the body. The heat penetrates the tissues and stimulates the cells to produce more oxygen and nutrients needed for faster healing and repair of damaged tissue. The effect of TECAR therapy is immediate, increasing the flow of natural nutrients, oxygen, enzymes, repairing collagen and elastic fibre structures, improving muscle tone, accelerating tissue healing and natural metabolic processes. 

 Tissues are treated using capacitive and resistive methods. The capacitive method works on soft tissues (muscle, blood and lymphatic system, skin and subcutaneous tissue), while the resistive method works on more resistant tissues (bone, cartilage, tendons, aponeuroses, fascia and fibrous tissues). The two methods complement each other, and their common goal is to stimulate the body's own physiological healing processes. 

TECAR therapy can reduce pain, improve blood circulation and tissue regeneration. 

When is TECAR recommended?

• Muscle injuries (rupture or tear of the muscle, bump, contracture, etc.) 

• Pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine 

• Pathologies in the shoulder joint (tendinitis, tenosynovitis, adhesive capsulitis, etc.) 

• Pathologies in the elbow, wrist and hand (epicondylitis, rhizarthrosis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.) 

• Pathologies in the hip joint (bursitis, coxarthrosis, etc.) 

• Pathologies in the knee joint (chondropathies, gonarthroses, ligament and cartilage injuries, etc.) 

• Pathologies in the ankle and foot (sprain, fracture, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, etc.) 

• Acute and chronic oedema 

Who should not have TECAR therapy?

• Pregnant women 

• Persons with a pacemaker 

• Persons with malignant diseases 

• Persons with impaired temperature perception
