What Is Tecar Therapy, And How It Can Benefit Your Body?

Tecar Therapy is being used as one of the latest techniques for rehabilitation and treatment of pain. It is a non-invasive, safe, and efficient procedure that utilizes a piece of special equipment to stimulate heat inside the body to repair inflammatory processes.

Tecar Therapy

Treatment of this technology is based on combined contact diathermy and electrotherapy, basically applying electromagnetic energy to biological tissue while not provoking muscle contraction.

It is commonly used in sports rehabilitation, especially in lesions on the elbow, shoulder, back and knee. This therapy acts by stimulating the body’s physiological repair processes, which works on tissue regeneration. 

The heat induces vasodilation, which increases the exchange of body substances, resulting in drainage of the inflamed area and an influx of reparative cells in the region. Furthermore, the treatment can also be used to enhance surgery post-op, filler treatment side effects or as therapy for skin tightening and body contour.

Designed for treating pain, the Tecar Therapy also stimulates the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers and will present a rapid action and results.

Generally speaking, this technique improves blood circulation, metabolism, intracellular energy transformation, repolarization of cells, and venous and lymphatic flow.

In conclusion, Tecar Therapy is widely used by rehab, sport and aesthetics doctors. There are some applications even in the veterinary field, and its acceptance is outstanding since it is a non-invasive and enjoyable procedure.
