⚡ TECAR for Chronic Injuries
Accelerating Healing with Deep Energy Transfer
When injuries don’t heal properly or pain becomes chronic, the issue often lies deep in the soft tissue: poor blood flow, cellular fatigue, or long-term inflammation. Traditional treatments like ice, rest, or medication may reduce pain temporarily—but they don’t restore function at the cellular level.
That’s where TECAR Therapy makes the difference.
At our Brooklyn clinic, we use TECAR to treat persistent pain and injuries by stimulating internal tissue repair using radiofrequency energy. The results? Faster healing, less downtime, and lasting relief.
What Is TECAR Therapy?
TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) Therapy uses high-frequency electrical currents to stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms. It’s a non-invasive technique that safely delivers thermal and subthermal energy deep into muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia.
- 🔹 Boosts cellular metabolism
- 🔹 Enhances blood flow and lymphatic drainage
- 🔹 Accelerates collagen production
- 🔹 Relieves muscle spasms and stiffness
It’s ideal for both acute injuries (sprains, strains, contusions) and chronic conditions (tendinopathies, joint degeneration, post-surgical recovery).
🩻 When to Use TECAR
TECAR is recommended for:
- 📌 Chronic joint or muscle pain
- 📌 Tendonitis and bursitis
- 📌 Rotator cuff injuries
- 📌 Plantar fasciitis
- 📌 Lower back and neck pain
- 📌 Myofascial restrictions
- 📌 Delayed post-op healing
Unlike heat pads or laser therapy, TECAR reaches deeper tissue layers, making it especially effective in difficult-to-reach zones and stubborn inflammation.
🔬 How TECAR Works
TECAR uses two modes of energy delivery:
- Capacitive Mode (CET) targets soft tissues with high water content like muscles and skin.
- Resistive Mode (RET) focuses energy on dense tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and bones.
By alternating between these modes, our therapists can customize treatment depth and intensity, promoting efficient healing exactly where the body needs it.
Patients typically feel a gentle, warm sensation during the session—no pain or discomfort.
🔁 Combining TECAR with Functional Therapies
We integrate TECAR into broader rehab protocols for superior outcomes:
| Therapy | How It Complements TECAR |
|---|---|
| 🧲 EMTT Therapy | Regenerates nerve function and reduces chronic inflammation |
| 🧪 PRP Therapy | Stimulates biological repair while TECAR boosts absorption |
| ❄️ Cryotherapy | Reduces surface swelling and soothes flare-ups |
| 🏋️ Physical Therapy | Builds strength while TECAR restores tissue health |
| 🧠 AIMS Therapy | Restores neuromuscular balance in injured areas |
This multimodal strategy allows us to treat both the root cause and the structural imbalance that leads to pain.
🛡️ Is TECAR Safe?
Yes. TECAR is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and well-tolerated. It has no known side effects when administered by trained professionals. It is safe for:
- Post-surgical patients
- Seniors with arthritis or poor circulation
- Athletes recovering from injury
- Chronic pain sufferers who want to avoid medications
Contraindications include pregnancy and electronic implants.
📈 What to Expect During a TECAR Session
- 📅 Less pain and stiffness immediately after treatment
- 📅 Improved joint mobility and soft tissue elasticity
- 📅 Faster recovery time post-injury or surgery
- 📅 Long-term reduction in chronic pain symptoms
Sessions are typically scheduled 1–2 times per week over 4–8 weeks, depending on the condition.
🏥 Conclusion
TECAR Therapy restores what pain takes away: function, circulation, and balance.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or living with chronic inflammation, TECAR offers a high-performance, drug-free solution that works from the inside out.
