TECAR Therapy
TECAR Therapy (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical currents at various frequencies to generate localized heat within tissues such as muscles, tendons, and bones. This heat promotes increased blood flow and oxygen delivery to the targeted area.
How TECAR Therapy Works:
-
Energy Transfer: TECAR therapy uses two main types of electrodes—capacitive and resistive—to transfer electrical energy into the body.
- Capacitive Electrode: Targets superficial tissues, like skin and muscle, by creating an electric field that generates heat in the tissues.
- Resistive Electrode: Penetrates deeper into the tissues, such as tendons and bones, by creating resistance and generating heat where it is most needed.
-
Localized Heat Production: The electrical currents produce heat within the tissues, which increases blood flow, enhances oxygen delivery, and stimulates the body’s natural healing processes.
-
Enhanced Healing: The therapy promotes cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain by accelerating the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Benefits of TECAR Therapy
- Relieves Sports Injuries and Post-Surgical Discomfort: The heat and increased circulation aid in the recovery process by reducing pain and inflammation from sports injuries or surgeries.
- Stimulates Collagen Production: By promoting deeper tissue warmth, TECAR therapy enhances collagen synthesis, which supports skin and tissue repair and improves overall healing.
TECAR therapy is especially useful for accelerating recovery, reducing pain, and improving tissue healing in various musculoskeletal conditions.
