Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) Therapy is a non-invasive electrotherapy that uses radiofrequency to generate heat within tissues, promoting circulation, reducing pain, and enhancing tissue repair.
TECAR therapy, also known as resistive capacitive diathermy (RCDT), is a non-invasive, advanced treatment modality that utilizes radiofrequency energy to promote tissue healing, alleviate pain, and enhance physical function. Unlike traditional heat therapies, TECAR therapy delivers energy deep into the body’s tissues, stimulating cellular activity and promoting healing from within.
Beneficial Diagnoses for TECAR Therapy
- Chronic joint pain (e.g., knee or shoulder pain)
- Tendinopathies (e.g., Achilles tendinitis)
- Ligament injuries
- Muscle strains
- Osteoarthritis
- Bursitis
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Scar tissue remodeling
*All diagnoses include but are not limited to the following.
Benefits of TECAR Therapy
TECAR therapy offers a wide range of benefits for individuals suffering from various musculoskeletal conditions:
- Pain relief: Effective for acute and chronic pain, including pain associated with arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and muscle strains.
- Accelerated tissue healing: Promotes healing in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
- Reduced inflammation: Decreases inflammation and swelling, promoting pain relief and tissue repair.
- Enhanced range of motion: Improves flexibility and range of motion in stiff joints and muscles.
- Reduced muscle spasms: Helps to relax muscle fibers, alleviating muscle cramps and spasms.
- Improved athletic performance: Enhances recovery from workouts and reduces muscle soreness.
*Disclaimer: The listed treatment options are for reference and should be discussed with your physiotherapist. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new therapy or exercise, as individual suitability depends on your health condition and their assessment.
