TECAR therapy

The term TECAR is an acronym for Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer. The use of TECAR technology

is of major importance in rehabilitation therapies since it reduces pain, stimulates venous drainage in the

lymphatic system, significantly reduces both muscular and back pain. In general, TECAR is used to treat

disorders such as sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, osteoarticular distractions, chronic arthralgias, contractures,

strains and muscular tears, myositis, pathologies of joint capsules, arthritic processes, lumbago and sciatica.

Therapy is widely useful for treating all types of sports injuries. The TECAR method represents a technological

innovation in the field of energy transfer in the diseased parts of the organism. From the other treatments

that use the electromagnetic waves (ex. the ultrasound and the laser) the TECAR method is differentiated

by the typology of the transmission of energy. In fact, TECAR therapy is not based on the induction of

heat "from the outside", but rather on the stimulation of ionic charges naturally present in our muscular tissues

through the application of particular electrodes. This involves a process of intensive stimulation of the tissues

at the cellular level, which activate the blood circulation inducing an increase in temperature that accelerates

a natural physiological reaction. TECAR therefore does not make use of the electric transmission from the

outside, but involves the exchange of the electrolytes already present in the organism at the cellular level,

with the aim of reactivating the circulation. Therefore, the process induces an increase in temperature in

tissues that triggers the natural reaction of the organism, which is essential for the restoration of a

considerable number of muscle and joint damage. This happens thanks to the combination of two

mechanisms: increase of temperature in the deeper tissues and increase of the energy potential of cell membranes.
