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 uses increases
in 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
Common uses in physiotherapy
TECAR's main use in physiotherapy relates to the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and pain disorders, and sport rehabilitation.
Some commonly treated conditions are:
Acute or chronic injuries / inflammation
Muscle spasms
Joint pain
Synovitis
Tendinopathy
Post-surgical
Osteoarthritis
Low back pain
There are also other areas that TECAR uses have been expanded such as pelvic health, physio-aesthetics,
and veterinary rehabilitation.
Advantage
» 1) Versatility of treatments: the use of hands-free bracelets integrates energy
into the professional's maneuvers, both in aesthetics and in Wellness or physiotherapy.
» 2) Freedom of movement: the bracelets work as an active resistive electrode
without the need to use traditional electrodes. Located on the forearms, they
facilitate maximum mobility for the professional. Adaptable thanks to elastic bands.
» 3) Maximum energy control: the professional's contact with the client or
patient provides constant feedback regarding the increase in temperature.
Thanks to this accessory, greater precision is achieved with more efficient
and pleasant results.
