TECAR© Therapy stands for "Transferencia Electrica CApacitiva Resistiva," a Spanish acronym for "Capacitive Resistive Electric Transference." This form of deep tissue thermotherapy utilizes radiofrequency energy to increase local tissue temperature, which may help in pain relief. TECAR therapy employs high-frequency currents, typically ranging from 300KHz to 1.2MHz, to generate an electromagnetic field that heats the targeted area.
Efficacy and Safety
Some studies suggest that TECAR therapy may provide beneficial effects, with some patients reporting relief after just one session. It is considered a generally safe and non-invasive treatment option, though individuals with electronic implants, pregnant individuals, and those with certain conditions such as wounds, burns, or thrombophlebitis should avoid this therapy.
