What is TECAR Therapy?
TECAR stands for the spanish acronym Tranferencia Electica Capacitiva Resistiva, meaning Capacitive Resistive
Electric Transference. It is a diathermy (i.e. deep tissue thermotherapy) therapeutic modality, therefore it i
ncreases local body tissue temperature, in combination with subthermal application to promote the body's healing response.
TECAR technology is non-ablative, non-invasive, using currents of high frequency, usually in the range
between 300 KHz and 1 Mhz. It can work in two modes of energy transfer:
Capacitive mode: affects tissues with higher electrolytic content (soft tissues and muscles)
Resistive mode: affects tissues with higher resistance (joint, bone, tendon)
The Tecar (capacitive and resistive energetic transfer)
is an endogenous thermotherapy that uses electrical currents, induced by a
448 kHz capacitive/resistive monopolar radiofrequency,to generate warming up
of deep tissues
How does it work?
Tecar therapy systems generate an electromagnetic wave at a precise frequency
of 448 kHz to achieve both a bio-stimulation and/or thermal effect.
In published research, it has been demonstrated to have a positive effect by
increasing deep blood flow therefore increasing oxygen and nutrients. In
molecular studies, INDIBA Activ has been shown to stimulate stem cell proliferation and differentiation
Treatments
Musculoskeletal
-
- Osteoarthritis
- Low back pain
- Neck pain
- Bursitis
- Tendinopathy
- Haematoma
- Fractures
- Muscle tears
- Sprains and strains
TECAR©'s main use in physiotherapy relates to the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and
pain disorders, and sport rehabilitation. [1] Some commonly treated conditions are:
Tendinitis.jpg
Acute or chronic injuries / inflammation
Low back pain
Muscle spasms
Joint pain
Synovitis
Tendinopathy
Post-surgical
Osteoarthritis
There are also other areas that TECAR© uses have been expanded such as pelvic health,
physio-aesthetics, and veterinary rehabilitation.
