What is TECAR?
• It is also known as “Capacitive and Resistive Electrical Transfer”.
• It is a form of endogenous thermotherapy (a heating device that creates a heat inside your body through its elecrodes and plate as a conducting medium).
• It encompasses a similarity of effectiveness like therapeutic ultrasound, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulator), Hot Moist Pack, Infrared Light, Laser Therapy and other kinds of therapeutic heating modalities.
However, it has a difference in usage and techniques since it encompasses almost all of the heating modalities invented. TECAR Therapy gives much faster recovery time by 2x of its effectiveness among the other modalities mentioned.
TECAR Therapy by all means can treat Physical, Neurological, Orthopaedic, Pediatric and Geriatric conditions to effectively promote optimal healing and conditioning.
How does TECAR Therapy work?
Many of us experienced bending forward and carrying heavy objects and putting it down without proper body mechanics. The pain is not immediate but repetition of doing it contributes stress on your back specifically on the lower back which creates friction on muscles and nerves that can cause strain and spasms. No matter what movements or remedies you do if the pain doesn’t go away, it’s useless.
That’s why TECAR Therapy is made to address any pain on your body no matter how superficial or deep it is. It targets the structure that causes pain by stimulating the brain to release pain blocking hormones which blocks the pain to escalate which we call the Pain Gate Theory.
This stimulation signals the brain to stop your nerves to create more pain and moreover TECAR Therapy contributes a huge advantage to ease the inflammation which results to decrease of pain through which exercises and Physical Therapy can be associated.
Overall, going to a Physical Therapy and undergo TECAR Therapy associated with proper exercise and body mechanics will significantly lessen your pain and heal your injury sufficiently quick.
