TECAR Radiofrequency Therapy: An Overview

I'm delighted to offer radiofrequency therapy as part of my practice for both horses and dogs. This revolutionary device provides immediate pain relief for dogs, reduces inflammation, and enhances healing at a cellular level. 


TECAR therapy, which stands for Transfer Electrical Capacitive and Resistive, is commonly used for athletes in both the human and equine fields due to its remarkable benefits. This therapy delivers fast results, with effects noticeable as early as the first session. It can induce both thermal and non-thermal effects and is recognized for its deep penetration potential, making it a valuable modality.


Radiofrequency therapy operates within a closed system, where the current moves from the treatment head to the return plate and back again. This strategic placement of the return plate allows for precise targeting of the treatment area. Thanks to its deep penetration capabilities, radiofrequency therapy can reach deep structures such as the sacroiliac joint and deep gluteal muscles, areas that manual therapy alone cannot effectively address.

Benefits of TECAR therapy

The slight rise in temperature within a tissue can enhance the benefits of TECAR therapy by increasing the supply of nutrients and aiding in the removal of toxins. This leads to enhanced circulation and reduced inflammation, which are crucial for effective pain relief for dogs. Additionally, synaptic interference at a nociceptor level inhibits the message of pain, contributing to the overall effectiveness of radiofrequency therapy. Long-term results include improved collagen production, relaxation of muscle tone, and immediate relief from muscle stiffness. This therapy also promotes an increased range of movement, reduces muscular spasms and contracture, and facilitates faster rehabilitation and recovery due to an accelerated rate of healing.

More About Electrotherapies

Laser Therapy

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT)

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses focused light energy to interact with tissue to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation and repair tissue function.

Thermotherpy

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT)

Laser Therapy

Thermotherapy (also called heat therapy) uses heat to treat pain and promote healing in muscles, joints, and soft tissues.

The increased blood flow leads to more oxygen and nutrients reaching the area to speed up healing.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT)

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT)

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT)

PEMFT uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes at the cellular level.

This Sends low-frequency electromagnetic pulses into the body.
These pulses penetrate cells, tissues, and bones without being invasive.
They stimulate cellular activity and improve the function of cell membranes.

TECAR Radiofrequency therapy

TECAR Radiofrequency therapy

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT)

TECAR therapy (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) is a type of deep heat therapy that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate healing in soft tissues and joints. RF Uses high-frequency electrical currents (usually around 300 kHz to 1 MHz)
that delivers energy deep into tissues without damaging the surface this then produces internal heat, which helps to Increase blood flow, boosts metabolism and reduce pain and inflammation. Helping lead to accelerated tissue repair.

Percussive Theragun

TECAR Radiofrequency therapy

Therapeutic Ultrasound

A Theragun is a handheld device that delivers rapid, repetitive pulses (percussions) deep into your muscles. This type of therapy is also called percussive or vibration therapy. This helps to relieve pain, reduce muscle soreness, and improve mobility.
 

Therapeutic Ultrasound

TECAR Radiofrequency therapy

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Therapeutic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves (typically 1–3 MHz) to treat muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint conditions. The device generates sound waves that are applied through a handheld wand (transducer) and gel on the skin. The sound waves penetrate deep into tissues and cause microscopic vibrations. This leads to thermal and non-thermal effects that help to promote healing and breakdown adhesions.
