Worldwide, many people face health problems of the skeletal and/or muscular system. There are many medical conditions that are associated with these body systems. Regardless of the cause, the effects of chronic conditions will significantly impact the life of each person who experiences this condition.
Physiotherapy is among the options to improve or reduce the negative effects of these conditions. This branch of medical rehabilitation means various procedures and techniques that contribute to physical rehabilitation in various conditions. In turn, physiotherapy involves several approaches and methods used to achieve the desired results. Among these procedures we also find TECAR therapy.
How does TECAR therapy work?
TECAR therapy is a method used both in physiotherapy and in the field of sports medicine. Based on a controlled heating effect, this procedure applies controlled heating to the body. Targeted areas are those that need pain relief or inflammation control. TECAR uses non-invasive technology precisely to combat inflammation and relieve pain.
By using TECAR therapy, surgical interventions can also be avoided in certain situations. The name of this procedure is given by the English abbreviation “Transfer Capacitive Resistive Energy”. It is also called capacitive-resistive contact hyperthermia or diathermy. It is an innovative and modern approach used to stimulate those self-healing mechanisms that the human body has.
TECAR has an important contribution in terms of slowing down and modifying biological processes at the osteo-articular level and at the level of soft tissues. Starting from the fact that they can suffer from certain conditions, TECAR therapy comes to reduce the damage found in the tissues.
Because we are talking about a non-invasive therapeutic procedure, its use in the field of physiotherapy has wide applicability due to the absence of any risk to the patient’s health. However, it should not be forgotten that TECAR therapy should only be performed on the recommendation of a physical rehabilitation specialist.
The main advantages of TECAR therapy
One of the proposed benefits of TECAR therapy is major relief in pain and muscle spasms. Considering the stimulation of energy from the body’s biological tissues, using TECAR will activate natural processes designed to support the healing of the body and the anti-inflammatory effect at the body level.
A second advantage of TECAR therapy refers to visible results much faster than other approaches in the field of physiotherapy for certain injuries. This advantage is manifested by reducing the time for treatment and the faster resumption of daily activities.
Also among the benefits it is worth mentioning the stimulation of blood circulation and lymph circulation, reduction of inflammation, tissue regeneration in case of trauma and muscle relaxation.
Conditions that may benefit from TECAR therapy
Based on the benefits offered, TECAR is a procedure that can be used effectively in various medical conditions. Among them we can list the sequelae of fractures, plantar fasciitis, arthrosis, coxarthrosis, coxalgia, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis or acute traumatic injuries.
You can benefit from TECAR therapy at the Koly Medical clinic, a center specialized in medical recovery. More details can be found on www.kolymedical.roand for scheduling access here.
