The use Tecartherapy in pathologies of the leg

The use of Tecartherapy is more fashionable than ever and today the leading centers in the practice of physical therapy have incorporated this technique into their program.

You can use one or more than one technique to rehabilitate a patient. And the combination of Tecartherapy does not exclude patient contact. As you see in this video, you can make specific stretchings of physiotherapy together with the beneficial effect of Tecartherapy.

The result is evident in the first session and makes the patient satisfied with the treatment received.

Ostheopathy and Tecartherapy

It is clear that manual techniques are not incompatible with the tecartherapy. In the following video, we will know a center in León, Spain, that integrates several techniques, a highly technological one like Tecartherapy, and a traditional manual one, osteopathy, to find the solution to problems.

Comparative study of the types of tecartherapies

There are different types of tecartherapies on the market. Surfing the net, we have discovered this extraordinary work of a Spanish physiotherapist who has used his personal search for the best equipment for your practice to make a comparison of the characteristics of the best equipment available.

Worth sharing this information with the entire group of professional users:

We encourage all professionals to review this information and personally assess the observations of the physiotherapist, and to make their own comparisons much of it as another type of machine.

How does Tecartherapy work?

Tecartherapy is based on a biological widely studied and known effect within the field of electrotherapy. Learn how it works with this video.

Tecartherapy becomes fashionable

The media began to echo the importance of Tecartherapy in the world of physiotherapy. See this report to find out.

Tecartherapy and the athlete

While using Tecartherapy for injuries resulting from sports is well-known, few know that there is another valuable application for athletes: the elimination of lactic acid. The generation of this residue after physical exertion causes slower athlete's recovery and yield less. See the video below how there are already centers that offer a bonus to the athlete, speeding lactic acid removal with automatic Tecartherapy.

Application by Physiotherapists

Tecartherapy is a technique used by professional physiotherapists or physical therapy operators. Health Day, Telemadrid, introduces Canei Clinic, a center applying this therapy. 

Draining effect

Many people are unaware of the potential for Tecartherapy applications in lymphatic drainage. Such treatment is especially valuable for women who have undergone a mastectomy and have major deficiencies of lymphatic drainage in the area of ​​arms. Watch this video to learn the applications of manual tecartherapy in the treatment of post-surgical lymphedema.

Example of a resistive application

Here, we show a video displaying the application of the technique resistive.

Types of available energy

Tecartherapy devices users know that certain equipments allow you to choose between two types of energy transfer: first capacitive transfer and, secondly, resistive transfer. Do you know exactly what is the use of each of them? We have prepared the following video to guide you when to use one and when the other.

General considerations of Tecartherapy

For any new medical device, we face a series of questions: Is it dangerous? Does it have any contraindications? Why is it used? See the following video some general considerations that revolve around Tecartherapy. 

How does the Tecartherapy work?

The physical mechanism of Tecartherapy has been well-defined and proven scientifically. The field of the capacitor, already studied by many physicists since the nineteenth century, has materialized through this technique its outstanding biological effects in the human body. Know through this video how does the Tecartherapy work.

Tecartherapy. Why is it effective?

Know in detail why Tecarthrerapy is advantageous from the point of view of efficiency and results.

Definition

In the following video, it is defined what exactly Tecartherapy is and what contributes to current medical knowledge.

What makes the Second Generation of tecartherapy devices different?

Second Generation of Tecartherapy devices are characterized by being dual, ie allowed to have manual and automatic applications.

Hand applications require an operator to move the contact accessory on the patient's treatment area. The automatic applications are made with accessories that are placed on the patient's pathological area and secured with elastic bands.

This factor provides an additional level of quality to users. The use of auto accessories to enter large amounts of energy, can treat most areas of the body of the patient at a time and reduces operator fatigue, who can develop a smarter therapy. In addition, this application reduces the cost price of the session and makes this type of treatment more accessible to wider sectors of population, as the sessions can be cheaper, not leaving it to be profitable for the entrepreneur.

The second generation of Tecartherapy equipment

Thanks to the effectiveness of such devices, new generations of user-friendly machines have been developed . This feature makes the application of these devices easier, faster and allow more energy to project rather than with the single manual application .

See in this video how to operate Second Generation Tecartherapy machines.

Let´s evalutate and compare the different Tecartherapy machines

Tecartherapy is administered through an electronic device that has a number of features. This device comprises a radio frequency generator and a contact probe which projects this energy into the patient's body.

There are two types of accesories through which the energy is projected: the insulated electrodes (also called capacitive) and non-isolated (also called up resistive). Applying one or other accessory depends on the percentage of water present in tissue being treated.

In this video, we'll see a therapy applied with a first generation Tecartherapy device, which is exclusively manual.

But what the experts think?

A European University, the Health Technology University in Lisbon, Portugal, has initiated a study of this technique to determine the extent of the effectiveness of treatment in one of the most difficult conditions for any physiotherapist: tendonitis. The physiotherapist Mr. Luis Ribeiro, is the researcher who has completed the research.

Treatment of Sciatica

Treatment of sciatica is a real impediment for many patients. Conventional electrotherapy treatment provides slow path to the progressive removal of the swelling of the nerve root. The ability to reduce inflammation deep to the tissues through Tecartherapy is a valuable support for patients who spend long hours sitting, such as clerks, or those that are also adversely affected by vertical vibrations that can cause driving a car or truck.

This effect can be produced, plus an inflammation of sciatic nerve, which also leads to a sciatica, a dehydration of the intervertebral discs, and consequently the development of a herniated disc.

This disease sufferers, especially professional groups related to transportation, including taxi drivers, bus drivers and other userswho use continued terrestrial locomotion.
