• Capacitive mode: In this mode, the electromagnetic waves generate an oscillating electric field that creates a charge separation in the tissues. This leads to a localized increase in temperature, enhanced blood flow, and improved oxygen and nutrient delivery to the treated area. Capacitive mode is often used for superficial tissues, such as skin, fat, and muscles close to the skin surface.

• Resistive mode: In this mode, the electromagnetic waves create an electrical current that flows through the tissues. This mode generates heat predominantly in the deeper tissues, including muscles, tendons, and joints. The resistive mode can help increase local temperature, promote tissue relaxation, and alleviate pain.

• Benefits and applications: TECAR therapy is commonly used in physical therapy and rehabilitation  settings for various purposes, including:

• • Pain management: It can help reduce pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, or chronic pain syndromes.

  • Tissue healing: TECAR therapy is believed to accelerate tissue repair and healing processes, making it beneficial for sports injuries, post-operative recovery, and soft tissue damage.

  • Increased range of motion and flexibility: The therapy may help improve joint mobility, flexibility, and muscle function, facilitating rehabilitation and restoring normal movement patterns.

  • Edema and inflammation reduction: TECAR therapy may aid in reducing edema (swelling) and inflammation in affected tissues.

•  Treatment process: During a TECAR therapy session, the therapist applies a conductive gel or cream to the treatment area to enhance conductivity. The therapist then uses the TECAR device’s handpiece or electrodes to deliver the electromagnetic waves to the targeted tissues. The treatment is typically painless and non-invasive.

It’s important to note that TECAR therapy should be performed by trained healthcare professionals who have knowledge and expertise in the technique. The treatment protocols, duration, and frequency may vary depending on the specific condition and the patient’s response to therapy.

If you are interested in TECAR therapy or believe it could be beneficial for your condition, it is recommended to consult with a qualified physical therapist or healthcare provider who can assess your needs and provide appropriate guidance and treatment.
