TECAR stands for Transfer of Electric Capacitive and Resistive Energy to tissues, stimulating healing and recovery mechanisms by inducing fibroblast activity and promoting neocollagenesis and neoangiogenesis, along with increasing local body temperature. This technology operates by circulating a current at a specific frequency (448 KHz).
• Capacitive mode targets superficial soft tissues and muscles.
• Resistive mode targets tissues with higher resistance, such as bones, tendons, and ligaments.
Indications:
• Post-operative recovery (managing swelling and pain).
• Acute ankle sprain.
• Shoulder tendinopathy.
• Achilles tendinitis.
• Muscle tears.
• Bursitis.
• Acute contusions, hematoma, and bruising.
