What is TECAR Therapy?
TECAR means Transfer of Capacitive And Resistive Energy
How does it work?
TECAR involves passing a therapeutic radio-frequency electromagnetic current through the damaged tissues which speeds up the transportation of ionic substances.
TECAR therapy gradually heats up the treated region and stimulates natural tissue regeneration. It reduces pain, encourages cellular regeneration, stimulates tissue repair, and improves blood circulation in the treated area.
