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.
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 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 do we apply TECAR therapy?
Our experienced physiotherapist will smooth some conductive cream over the area to be treated then
move a hand-held device around that part of your body.
The therapeutic heat penetrates deep into the tissue and you will experience a pleasantly warm feeling.
The heat induces vasodilation, an opening of your blood vessels, and stimulates the lymphatic system
to dissolve adhesions in the tissue.
During the treatment, the therapist will ask you to score the level of warmth experienced. The therapist
uses this information for different reasons:
The correct WEL (Warmth Experience Level) – score is crucial for reaching the aspired therapeutic goal
For extra safety, the patient determines the warmth level
How tecar therapy works
Tecar therapy is a form of thermotherapy (i.e., 'heat-based therapy') that is so-called endogenous
(i.e., originating internally).
"Unlike other physical therapies, such as, for example, laser, infrared, and ultrasound, which emit
heat from the outside, tecar therapy, by exploiting a high-frequency alternating current, is able to
generate more or less intense heat energy inside biological tissues.
From a biological point of view, it makes the plasma membrane of cells permeable, stimulating
intra- and extracellular exchanges - Dr. Simone explains. - The consequence of this reaction, called diathermy, is:
enhancement of metabolic and proliferative processes;
activation of arteriovenous and lymphatic circulation;
intensification of microcirculation;
enhanced vasodilation
improved oxygenation;
neo collagenesis (collagen formation).
In other words, tecar therapy favors early activation of reparative physiological mechanisms
and thus a faster and more efficient resut, especially when combined with manual physiotherapy."
The effects and benefits of tecar therapy
In regard to the above, tecar therapy can offer numerous effects and benefits, including:
reduction of pain;
reduction of inflammation of muscles and tendons;
improvement of muscle contractures and joint stiffness;
increased elasticity of connective tissue;
increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues and faster elimination of waste products;
faster absorption of hematomas and edema (i.e., swelling) both post-traumatic and post-surgical.
Areas of use
One of the first and main areas of use of tecar therapy is in sports, in response to musculoskeletal
injuries or overloads. "When combined with immediate treatment, tecar therapy helps to reduce the
severity of the injury and allows a quicker return to physical activity," the expert emphasizes.
In addition, it is effective in cases of:
arthrosis;
arthritis;
fibromyalgia;
cervicalgia;
lumbago;
sciatica;
elbow epicondylitis;
rheumatoid polyarthritis.
What is tecar therapy used for?
TECAR THERAPY STIMULATES THE BODY'S BIOLOGICAL INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE
TO ACCELERATE THE RESTORATION AND RECOVERY OF NORMAL BIOLOGICAL
FUNCTIONS IN RESPONSE TO MECHANICAL, VIRAL, OR OTHER STRESS.
In particular, here are the cases in which a physiotherapist might decide to use tecar therapy:
muscle problems: such as contractures, strains, contusions or oedemas;
back and spinal problems: such as lumbago, back pain and cervical pain;
shoulder problems: such as tendinitis
elbow problems: such as epicondylitis and epitrochleitis
hip problems: such as pubalgia and bursitis
knee problems: such as sprains
ankle and foot problems: such as fractures, sprains, fasciitis
