Tecar Treatment

Using Non-Ablative and Non-Invasive TECAR© Technology to Promote the Body’s Natural Healing Abilities
TECAR© is short for Tranferencia Electica Capacitiva Resistiva. The non-ablative and non-invasive nature of this treatment means that it doesn’t damage the skin or tissues. Instead, it works by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the affected area, which helps speed up tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Tecar therapy is an excellent deep tissue thermotherapy modality to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal issues.
What Is Tecar Treatment?
Tecar treatment, also known as Tecar therapy, is a physical therapy modality that uses radiofrequency energy to help the body heal. It’s a safe method that stimulates faster recovery from injuries and manages pain. It works by using radiowaves to increase blood circulation and heat to warm up the tissues to decrease swelling and inflammation.
PMP Pain Center has a TECAR machine that works in two modes: capacitive and resistive mode. The capacitive mode works on soft tissues, such as muscles and tendons, while the resistive mode focuses on deeper tissues, like ligaments and joints. Having this feature allows us to customize the treatment based on your condition to deliver optimal results.
