Generality of tecar therapy physio : Tecarterapia, also known as Tecar, is an electromedical treatment, which allows a faster recovery from traumas and inflammatory diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Tecarterapia :
Diffused especially in the physiotherapy field, Tecar foresees the use of a very particular device, based on the physical principle of the condenser and capable of generating heat inside the anatomic area in need of care. Tecar therapy can work in two ways: the capacity modality, suitable for the treatment of soft tissue problems, and the resistive modality, indicated for the treatment of bone, joint, cartilaginous disorders, etc. Dependent on the energy delivered by the device, the biological effects of Tecar are, principally, three: increase in microcirculation, vasodilatation and increase in internal temperature.
Function of tecar therapy physio :
In Resistive mode, the lower frequency current flows through the resistive parts of the body (bones, ligaments, important tendons etc.). The resistive mode concentrates the energy mainly on the hard tissues, such as joints, ligaments, tendons and bones.
In CApacitive mode, the higher frequency current mainly flows through the capacitive parts of the human body (muscles, etc). The CApacitive mode concentrates the energy mainly on the soft tissues such as muscles and areas with high liquid content.
FAQ :
Is Tecar Therapy painful? Tecar Therapy is not painful. During the treatment the patient feels a pleasant warm sensation, which makes the therapy extremely comfortable.
How long does treatment take? Tecar Therapy treatments can vary in duration from a few minutes to some tens of minutes, depending upon the pathology, the required effect and the size of the area to be treated.
How long before the first results are seen? It is possible to appreciate the benefits of Tecar Therapy immediately after the first treatment. Tecar Therapy delivers energy to biological tissues, activating microcirculation and stimulating the lymphatic system. Benefits are immediate and long-lasting. Obviously, in order to optimize therapeutic results and benefits, correct diagnosis and an adequate therapeutic protocol are of fundamental importance.
