• It’s an ‘endogenous diathermy’ therapy used for heating body tissues and facilitates primary mechanisms of tissue internal healing processes by altering the blood flow.
• TECAR is a method of transferring energy without inserting external environment’s radiation, thus it stimulates the natural physiological processes of the body tissues
• TECAR with low energy levels provides avenues to apply electromagnetic fields for acute disorders with little or no thermal effect and high energy levels with thermal effects can be used for chronic disorders.
• CRet produces radiofrequency (RF) energy by creating electromagnetic fields between the passive ground electrode, and active electrode.
• This allows clinical advantages such as improving circulation, improving joints flexibility and range of motion, lasting way of nerve impulses blocking, controlling muscular and joint pain, and accelerating the process of healing.
• A clinical studies reported that capacitive Resistive electric transfer diathermy can reduce pain, improve joint flexibility, muscle architecture and soft tissue stiffness, increase in ROM, decrease in muscle tone, and improve quality of life in numerous orthopaedic degenerative and inflammatory disorders.

“Transfer of Energy Capacitive-Resistive (Tecar) for Acute and Chronic Musculoskeletal Disorders – A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis” Conclusion was:

• CRet therapy significantly reduced pain, disability, and improves functionality.
• Population can benefits from CRet: patients with musculoskeletal pathologies: cervical pain, shoulder pain, low back pain, knee injuries, posts Fractures.
• CRet can be used with acute, sub-acute, and chronic cases.
