TECAR Therapy in Jaipur

01

What's included

• An assessment before any machine is used, looking at your pain, movement, mobility, posture and the everyday things you are finding hard.
• A check for the reasons TECAR must not be used on you, including a pacemaker or other electronic medical device, a coil (intrauterine device), pregnancy, cancer and a clot in a vein.
• Where the assessment supports it, treatment on the i-TECAR unit at the Gandhi Path centre in Vaishali Nagar.
• Warmth adjusted to what you can comfortably feel. Tell the physiotherapist at any point if it is too hot.
• TECAR used as one part of a plan that can also include exercise therapy and manual therapy, all on site.
• Consultation in Hindi, English or Rajasthani.

Who it's for

This treatment suits some people and not others. It is worth a call if you recognise yourself here.

• Adults with muscle, tendon or joint pain who are willing to have a full physiotherapy assessment first.
• People with low back pain or knee pain. Low back pain and knee osteoarthritis are two of the problems TECAR has been studied in most, and the results are mixed.
• People willing to do exercises as part of the plan. A 2025 clinical commentary in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, which is expert opinion rather than a trial, advises using TECAR with exercise and not on its own.
• People who want the limits of the treatment explained as well as the possible benefit.

Who should not have it

A published clinical commentary and one TECAR maker's user manual list these among the reasons not to use TECAR:

• A pacemaker, an insulin pump, a hearing aid or another electronic medical device.
• Pregnancy.
• A cancer or other tumour.
• A clot or an inflamed vein, a disease of the arteries, bleeding, or a severe heart or circulation disorder.
• A metal implant, or a Copper T or other intrauterine device (coil).
• Reduced feeling in the area to be treated.
• A fever or an infection.
• Epilepsy.

The same maker's manual also says its device should not be used on children under 14. If the person to be treated is a child, ask the physiotherapist at the assessment whether TECAR is suitable. Tell the physiotherapist about any of these, and about any implant or device you have, at the assessment.

How it works

1. Assessment before any machine is used A physiotherapist asks about your pain, your health and any implants or devices you have, examines the painful area, and checks the reasons TECAR would not be safe for you. TECAR is not a diagnosis. If your pain is new, severe, came after a fall, or comes with numbness, weakness, fever or unexplained weight loss, you will be advised to see a doctor first.
2. Setting up You take off any metal objects you are wearing. A return plate is placed on the skin close to the area being treated, and a conductive cream goes on the skin so that no air gap is left between the electrode and your body. The physiotherapist chooses capacitive or resistive mode for the tissue being treated.
3. What it feels like The physiotherapist moves the electrode over the area and raises the power until you feel warmth that is comfortable. Say so at once if it feels too hot. TECAR is given only to someone awake and able to say how it feels, which is why your feedback matters during the session.
4. TECAR sits inside a wider plan In the same programme the physiotherapist may use manual therapy, myofascial release, Mulligan Concept mobilisation with movement, kinesiology taping and the exercise therapy you continue at home. Other equipment on site, including Class IV laser and spinal decompression, is used only where the assessment calls for it.
5. How many sessions There is no agreed standard number of TECAR sessions: a 2020 review called for treatment methods to be standardised. Ask your physiotherapist what they suggest and why, and how progress will be judged. Longer-standing pain that needs a broader plan is handled through Pain Management.

What Is i-TECAR Therapy?

TECAR Therapy, commonly described as Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive therapy, uses non-invasive radiofrequency energy delivered through specialized electrodes during physiotherapy treatment.

The technology can operate through capacitive and resistive modes, allowing treatment to be adapted to different tissues and rehabilitation goals. It is commonly integrated with manual therapy, mobility work and therapeutic exercise.

At Trivayu Physio Center, i-TECAR Therapy can be incorporated into a broader rehabilitation program to help reduce discomfort, improve movement and support progressive return to activity.
