Everyone feels pain; it’s an inevitable part of the human experience. Some people may experience pain more frequently and more intensely than others. It can become limiting and debilitating.
Pain pills and surgery are conventional ways to reduce chronic pain significantly. New and innovative procedures, however, may offer faster and more effective pain relief compared to older techniques.
TECAR therapy is a highly advanced non-surgical drug-free method to treat pain. This revolutionary pain therapy achieves pain relief and stimulates cellular regeneration and repair by transmitting electric and heat energy to your cells (thermotherapy). At PainTherapy Medical Care in Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Henry Sardar offers expert TECAR therapy for overworked injuries, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders. Dr. Sardar has helped many patients with persistent chronic pain thanks to this technology.
Keep reading to find out why TECAR therapy may be your best bet at relieving your chronic pain.
What Is TECAR Therapy?
“Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive” (TECAR) therapy is one of the most effective thermotherapy treatments to reduce pain.
Thermotherapy is the use of heat energy to relieve pain or stiffness. The TECAR device supplies finely tuned electric currents that go right into your cells to polarize them. This re-energizes your cells and pushes them into an anabolic and healing state.
We commonly use it to treat joint disorders, muscle disorders, low-back pain, spine pain, sports injuries, and many other painful conditions. It is entirely non-invasive, using radiofrequency electric current to generate heat energy. We call this induced heat, diathermy. Applying heat to injured tissue is always beneficial. However, there’s no way to heat deep painful structures – not until now.
The combination of energy and diathermy in TECAR therapy transfers the heat deep into your soft tissues, which is often the point of origin of your pain. It reaches the deep-lying tendons, ligaments, and bones.
TECAR therapy has garnered an excellent reputation among physiotherapists, osteopaths, and sports physicians worldwide. This thermotherapy treatment is also growing increasingly popular among Dr. Sardar’s patients in New York. It’s become one of the best non-surgical alternative treatments for pain.
How Does TECAR Therapy Work?
TECAR therapy is endogenous thermotherapy that uses electrical currents to alter the magnetic field, energize cells, and generate sufficient heat to reduce pain in the affected area. The frequency of TECAR typically ranges between 300 kHz to 1.5 MHz.
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.
- Analgesic Effect: Nociceptors are pain receptors that are responsible for generating the pain you feel, and they work overtime when there’s an injury. The energy emitted by the TECAR device works alongside your nervous system. The high frequency oscillating magnetic field results in a biological change in your nerve fibers and receptors, blocking the pain signals.
- Biostimulant Effect: Once the radio waves hit the treated tissue, they polarize your cell membranes. This process reactivates the metabolic process, inducing cell proliferation and regeneration for wound healing. It also stimulates chondrocytes (cartilage cells) to repair any bone and joint injuries.
- Decontracting Effect: The generated heat from the electrical current induces vasodilation, wherein the blood vessels in the affected area widen. Vasodilation increases the blood flow to that area with a resultant increase in oxygen and nutrients. This boosts healing in your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
- Anti-inflammatory Effect: The steady increase in temperature subsequently increases the blood flow to the affected area. The increased blood circulation and vasodilation encourage immediate lymphatic drainage. Through this inflammatory metabolites and wastes are washed away from the area, reducing any swelling and promoting faster healing.
The biological effects of TECAR lead to accelerated pain reduction, enhanced natural healing, and rapid recovery time. This is why pain specialists consider TECAR therapy one of the best pain relief therapies for chronic and acute pain.
TECAR therapy can help you return to a drug-free and pain-free life, without having to endure the risks of surgery or chronic painkiller use. Dr. Sardar now offers all his patients the chance to test out this innovative treatment in Brooklyn, New York.
