TCARE Diathermy (Capacitive–Resistive)

Diathermy using capacitive–resistive transfer delivers high-frequency energy to deep tissues to produce controlled thermal and athermal effects. In clinical practice it helps modulate pain, improve local circulation and tissue metabolism, reduce stiffness, and accelerate recovery in acute and chronic conditions. Treatment can be tailored to achieve relaxation or activation depending on parameters and tissue targets.

How it works

TCARE alternates between capacitive (focusing energy on more superficial, hydrated tissues such as muscle and fascia) and resistive modes (favoring deeper, more fibrous or less hydrated tissues such as tendons, ligaments and periarticular structures). The controlled energy transfer promotes microcirculation, optimizes tissue viscosity, and supports the natural healing environment.

Therapeutic effects

Pain modulation

Analgesic effect in acute and chronic pain.
Decreases muscle tone and guarding.
Improves comfort and tolerance to movement.

Tissue repair

Boosts local circulation and oxygenation.
Supports healing and remodeling in soft tissues.
Helps reduce edema and stiffness.

Mobility & function

Increases tissue extensibility and glide.
Facilitates earlier, comfortable loading.
Enhances neuromuscular readiness for rehab.

Clinical indications

Musculoskeletal pain

Neck, thoracic and low-back pain.
Muscle tightness, trigger points, overload.
Sprains, contusions and muscle strains.

Tendons & joints

Tendinopathies (shoulder, elbow, patellar, Achilles).
Capsular stiffness and periarticular pain.
Post-immobilization stiffness and adhesions.

Post-injury & post-surgery

Edema management and pain relief.
Support for early mobilization.
Adjunct to progressive loading programs.
