- Chronic inflammation; inflammation of mucous membranes
- Muscle tension
- Pain relief
Effects of warmth
- Drowsiness
- Reduction in tone (= relaxation) of the smooth and skeletal musculature
- Vascular widening increases blood flow
- Analgesia (pain relief) due to muscle relaxation and increase in blood circulation
Warm and cold treatments can likewise affect the internal organs. There are two different types of treatments: addition of heat (heat therapy) and removal of heat (cryotherapy). Cold is used in the case of traumas and acute inflammation; heat is used for chronic inflammation, inflammation of mucous membranes and muscular tension.
- fatigue
- Reduction of muscle tone (= relaxation) of smooth musculature and skeletal muscle
- Increase in blood flow through vessel dilation
- Analgesia (pain relief) for muscle relaxation and blood circulation increase
TECAR THERAPY
Tecar therapy is mainly used for athletes in rehabilitation. They need to be fit again quickly. This is exactly the motivation we have for all our patients.
TECAR was developed in Spain in 1997. Based on energy transfer in the high-frequency magnetic field, Tecar stimulates our physiological reactions. The noticeable heat development is very pleasant and relaxing. Blood circulation and cell activity increase, the lymphatic system is activated. With this rehabilitation technique we can achieve a faster healing process for muscle and tendon problems, bone and cartilage problems. The duration of the treatment depends on the basic problem. You can expect 10-30 minutes with 3-10 applications.
We have special programmes for:
- Herniated disc and protrusion
- Nerve root irritation
- arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Impingement shoulder
- Periarthritis
- Post-traumatic lymphatic congestion
- Oedema
- Fractures-bone fractures
- Cartilage damage
- Muscle strains
- Muscle tears
- Bursitis
- Inflammations
- Muscle tension
- Patellar tendon problems
- Achilles tendon problems
