TECAR therapy is a form of combined contact diathermy and electrotherapy. It is a medical practice that applies
electromagnetic energy to biological tissue. The electromagnetic frequency applied originates from the
radiofrequency spectrum. Unlike electrotherapy it does not provoke muscle contraction. The therapeutic
wavelength spectrum ranges from 300 KHz to 1.2 MHz.
The high-frequency current's path and the created electromagnetic field are determined by the position
of the electrodes and the patient's body composition. The electromagnetic field created, capacitive or
resistive, generates heat, allowing targeted, easy-to-manage therapeutic applications.
The heat-induced vasodilation increases the exchange of substances resulting in drainage of the inflamed
area and an influx of reparative cells. TECAR therapy also has painresolving properties through its stimulation
of endorphin production. TECAR therapy uses high-frequency currents for the bio-stimulation of tissue
with different resistivity.
The beneficial effects of TECAR therapy are mostly used in physical therapy, rehabilitation and pain management:
Bruises and sprains
Post-surgery rehabilitation
Sports traumas
Muscle and tendon disorders
Neuropathies
Scar tissue
Spine and peripheral joint disorders
Vascular and lymphatic system disorders
Orthopaedic disorders of the peripheral nervous system
Pelvic floor rehabilitation
Acute and chronic pain
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

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.
