Tecar (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy is a method that stimulates the body by using radio waves, which allows the body to heal by creating heat inside of it. This method uses a combination of both diathermy and electrotherapy; however, it does not result in muscle contraction like other forms of electrotherapy. The nerve stimulation of tecar therapy eases inflammation, which results in the reduction of pain.
It is a diathermy (i.e. deep tissue thermotherapy) therapeutic modality, therefore it uses increases in local body tissue temperature, in combination with subthermal application to promote the body’s healing response.[1]
TECAR© technology is non-ablative, non-invasive, using currents of high frequency, usually in the range between 300 KHz and 1 Mhz. It can work in two modes of energy transfer: [2]
- Capacitive mode: affects tissues with higher electrolytic content (soft tissues and muscles)
- Resistive mode: affects tissues with higher resistance (joint, bone, tendon)
More effective treatments with TECAR current
With a range of frequencies from 300 to 500KHz, BACK1 targets the deepest tissues (ligaments, bones, joints, tendons) to address all fields of treatment.
Discover technologies for enhanced treatments and lasting results. Better pain management. Faster recovery. Gentler patient experience.
tecartherapy has three effects to accelerate rehabilitation.
It makes the plasma membrane permeable, stimulating intra- and extracellular exchanges.
Relieve pain
Inhibits the transmission of pain messages by saturating nociceptors. The result? An immediate & lasting pain relief enabling therapists to work more smoothly et efficiently.

Restore movement
Increases temperature helping to release muscle tension and improve vascularization to make movement easier. Gain freedom and range of motion.

Boost metabolism
Stimulates intra and extracellular exchanges. The natural resistance of biological tissues increases, creating diathermy which is used by the vascular/lymphatic system.
