With a long wavelength and low frequency (300 KHz to 1 MHz), it can penetrate deeply into muscles, tendons, and bones, making it suitable even in acute conditions. TECAR operates in two modes: capacitive (targeting soft tissues rich in electrolytes) and resistive (targeting high-resistance tissues like bones and tendons). Transfer energy capacitive and resistive therapy promotes natural body repair by reducing motor recovery time. It uses diathermia with electromagnetic energy to raise tissue temperature, causing ion flow and micro-hyperemia. This process releases pain-relieving substances, enhances blood flow, boosts immune defenses, and stimulates tissue regeneration.",[9],[26],"TECAR",{"type":21,"name":28,"description":29,"armGroupLabels":30,"otherNames":31},"Therapeutic Ultrasound","The ultrasonic waves enhance healing by augmenting local vascularity and improving several features, including energy absorption capacity. maximum tensile rupture resistance, enhanced collagen synthesis, fibroblast proliferation, release of growth factors induced by mast cell degranulation, and better platelet and macrophage responsiveness, anticipating the proliferative and remodeling phases.
