What is Tecar Therapy?
Tekar therapy is a new and advanced method of non-invasive physiotherapy treatment that has recently entered the field of sports treatment and musculoskeletal injuries. This physiotherapy method is a revolutionary development in the non-surgical treatment of bone, joint, soft tissue injuries and some other diseases. Tekarotherapy is one of the most advanced techniques developed based on the latest scientific knowledge in physiotherapy. The word Tekar is composed of capacitive and resistive energy transfer and means that it stimulates the physiological recovery process and accelerates the recovery time. Tekkar is also known as RF in physiotherapy. RF stands for radio frequency and indicates the use of radio frequency waves in therapy.
What is the mechanism of Tecar Therapy?
Tekar therapy is a type of device that uses radio frequencies (electromagnetic spectrum) to create energy transfer to body tissues in two capacitive and resistive ways. The Tecar device is actually the same diathermy that penetrates the body tissues in a more targeted manner and with a more controlled penetration depth and does not have the problems and precautions of using short wave diathermy devices. Energy transfer in tachyar therapy is done by creating an electromagnetic current, which, if done correctly, causes different healing of deep tissue lesions, stimulation of lymph and blood flow, muscle tissue, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and bone.
The effect of the electromagnetic current on the tissue increases the temperature in the tissue area, which increases the lymph flow and hyperemia in the tissue, and releases hormones that relieve pain, repair the tissue, and reduce edema and inflammation. to give By increasing the local temperature, the Tucker device directly increases blood flow and indirectly increases oxygen supply to the treated tissue, stimulates the body’s immune system, and accelerates tissue recovery. It is important to note that the thermal and non-thermal effects of this technique occur in the tissue itself, and in fact no current or radiation is emitted to the tissue.
This method of deep thermal treatment or endogenous thermotherapy is able to significantly reduce the patient’s recovery and rehabilitation time by activating the body’s natural physiological processes. Most medical units do not have the power to penetrate the deepest parts of the body. Skin, subcutaneous fat, muscle sheath, etc. are barriers that prevent the penetration of waves and waves. However, Tekari has a special ability to cross the mentioned obstacles and reach the depth of the target tissue. This feature helps the patient to resolve even the deepest joint and muscle problems. This method allows patients to see a significant improvement in their condition after only one treatment session and helps the recovery process of patients with neck pain, leg pain, torn ligaments and other injuries and problems.
The mechanism of treatment with Tecar Therapy
The working mechanism of the Tekar therapy device is based on reducing the frequency of nerves and muscles (deeper than any other type of device and the distance between the two poles is greater than any other device) and also has functional properties:
The intensification of water molecules and as a result the intensification of oxygen molecules dissolved in water and as a result more oxygen delivery and the creation of deep heat which increases the diameter of the vessels which along with deep heat causes blood. Delivery to the treated area Messages are sent through high-frequency RF waves to contract and expand the muscle, these waves are filtered by the muscle, and the muscle absorbs and expands the modulated wave of the muscle message.
The Tekkar device is an advanced modulator based on a combination of radio frequency waves and a wide range of nerve and muscle signals.
Tekar Therapy relieves pain and inflammation, absorbs excess fluid from the body, and treats broken bones, cellular metabolism problems, musculoskeletal injuries, tendon tears, and body injuries. Tekar therapy was first used for sports injuries and then this new method was used in physiotherapy to treat many problems of the musculoskeletal system.
Modes of operation of the therapy device
1. Performance of the capacitor method
In this treatment method, the focus is on the tissues under the mobile electrode and the soft tissues of the muscles, lymph and veins are stimulated. Capacitive diathermic stimulation is performed using insulated electrodes of different sizes suitable for the treatment area, and the neutral electrode acts as a reflective plate, creating the described effect and applying the treatment. Therefore, by creating polar oscillations in the body tissues, it causes heat in the tissues, which is used in the absorption of edema after muscle and tendon injuries, joint diseases and injuries. In this case, the heat generated in the body depends on several factors, and the patient’s perception of the amount of heat generated is also different, and he may feel the effect of takar only in the form of intense or very intense and burning heat.
When capacitive electrodes are used, the diameter and speed of movement of the electrodes must be carefully considered and adjusted accordingly. Using the same amount of energy, using larger electrodes causes the heat to rise slower and slower. Also, the faster the electrodes move, the less the patient feels the generated heat. If possible, it is better to use electrodes that are larger than the area being treated.
Depending on the area to be treated and the amount of force you want to apply, the electrodes can be fixed in place or moved in a linear or circular fashion. It is very important that most or even all of the electrodes are completely attached to the patient’s body and conform to any irregularities and natural bumps or depressions of the body and stay completely with the body. The handle of the treatment device with the help of electrodes is designed in such a way that the therapist can perform the treatment easily and on the other hand the treatment is pleasant for the patient.
2. Performance of resistance method
In this method, which is generally performed on tissues with low water and high density, current is established between the moving electrode and the reflection plate, causing biological effects on bones and cartilage tissue. Resistive method is used in sports injuries, arthritis and arthrosis, bone injuries and fractures, capsule inflammation and heel spurs. Combining other methods of physiotherapy such as manual treatments with the technology of tekar therapy can be very effective in the treatment of injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Treatment before and after surgery
Tekar therapy is very effective in physiotherapy before and after surgery. Takar treatment causes rapid swelling after surgery. Tekar treatment can improve the circulatory system and surface fluid. Rapid drainage of fluids reduces inflammation, swelling and pain in the body. Also, the deep heat of percussion is very effective in facilitating the recovery process after surgery. Tekar shortens the patient’s start-up period so that the patient can quickly regain the lost ability.
The performance of Tekar physiotherapy equipment
The function of this device is to use very high frequencies from 300 kHz to 1 MHz, which can accelerate the regeneration of the environment in living cells. This amount of energy released in the body is completely inactive and has no negative effects. Tekar therapy increases arterial blood flow and intracellular energy, aligns cell membranes, and increases lymphatic and venous outflow. These factors are important for repair and regeneration in all types of injuries of the musculoskeletal system.
Trauma is often associated with functional limitations and pain. In addition to causing pain and discomfort for the patient, pain severely limits the patient’s motor functions. The patient inevitably has to limit a significant part of his daily activities, which leads to muscle weakness and new joint problems. RF in physiotherapy by stimulating microcirculation and strengthening lymphatic flow removes substances from tissue erosion from the pain site and causes the entry of new substances to start regeneration in the damaged tissue. It also treats pain by affecting free nerve endings and blocking pain pathways through the release of endorphins.
Tecar radio waves restore the membrane balance of nerve receptors, which also relieves pain.
Therefore, takar has a therapeutic effect on pain and is not used only for pain relief. The active electrode in the hand of the physiotherapist is guided manually and usually with massage and light pressure on the body. A passive electrode is placed on the lower back or distal part of the treatment area to close the circuit.
How long will the treatment take?
Tekar treatment sessions usually last 5 to 40 minutes and can usually be done 1 to 3 times a week, but how many times each problem is treated with Tekar treatment depends on the patient’s needs and conditions, and this field is interpreted by an experienced physiotherapist. will be If necessary, the treatment can be done every day.
What are the side effects of tachyar therapy?
Tekkar therapy uses electricity, but it is not dangerous in any way. This device spreads pleasant heat in the treated tissue. During the treatment, the physiotherapist avoids discomfort by asking the patient about his feelings. Tanning therapy is enjoyable and relaxing. To ensure patient safety, electrical impedance can be dynamically controlled with Tucker Therapy, which adjusts the power of the device during treatment according to the current condition of the tissue being treated, resulting in safe and uniform heating of the treatment area.
Are the results of treatment with patch therapy permanent?
Every patient and every disease is different. Consumer leads to immediate and long-term treatment of cholera for patients. The stability of the results depends on the patient’s condition and compliance or non-compliance with the instructions and activities provided by the physiotherapist.
Is Tecar Therapy painful?
No, tachotherapy is not painful. On the other hand, the patient feels that the heat flows to the treatment area, which is a pleasant feeling.
How long does it take to see the results of Tecar treatment?
One of the advantages of Tucker treatment is immediate results. You will notice the difference within moments of starting the treatment. Of course, at the end of the treatment, the feeling of recovery does not stop and continues.
