Tecartherapy

tecarterapia riabilitazione al gomito con fisioterapista. Braccio del paziente

Tecar therapy is an electromedical that uses the benefits given by radio frequency to stimulate the biological processes of the healing process of the body, providing a therapeutic effect from the first treatment sessions. The fundamental goal in the treatment of both chronic and acute pathologies is to simultaneously reduce pain and inflammation, accelerating the healing process of the tissues involved.

This electromedical, now in use for 30 years in physiotherapy, is considered extremely effective and versatile because, depending on the diagnosis, it can use different operating modalities such as:

CAPACITIVE TECARTHERAPY (suitable for surface tissues)

The reactions produced by the capacitive mode focus mainly on the soft tissues close to the glass ceramic electrode. Its design allows it to act as a capacitor of charges and obtain a localized increase of electro-regenerative energy on the area compromised by pain or functional impotence.

RESISTIVE TECARTHERAPY (suitable for deeper tissues)

The reactions produced by the resistive mode focus on the most resistant tissues to the passage of radiofrequency, such as joints, bones, ligaments and tendons. This mode, combined with manual and kinesiotherapy techniques, allows to concentrate the effects of electro-regenerative energy on the body during active movement exercises.
