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 increases local body tissue
temperature, in combination with subthermal application to promote the body's
healing response.[1]
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: [2]
Capacitive mode: affects tissues with higher electrolytic content (soft tissues and muscles)
Resistive mode: affects tissues with higher resistance (joint, bone, tendon)
Watch this video[3] on TECAR© therapy:
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
For which pathologies do we recommend tecar therapy?
As mentioned above, diathermy is an effective technique for treating all types of pathology,
acute, subacute and chronic. Among the main ones:
- tendinitis,
- tendinosis,
- joint pain,
- muscle contracture,
- muscle strain,
- bruise,
- epicondylitis,
- Golfer's elbow,
- neck pain,
- low back pain,
- lumbosciatica,
- slipped disc,
- whiplash,
- gonarthrosis,
- chondropathy,
- distortion,
- ACL, LCL, MCL injuries.
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.
