What clinics treat with TECAR
OYATEC clinics use TECAR most for back, neck, knee and shoulder pain, sports injuries and arthritis. They also treat people recovering from car accidents and strokes.
The usual choices
Most pain care comes down to pills, injections or waiting
Pain pills dull the ache for a few hours, and many people don't want to take them for months. Injections and surgery help some people, but they carry risks and take time to recover from. Waiting it out can mean weeks of poor sleep and missed work.
TECAR gives you another choice. It treats the sore tissue directly with warmth, and you can have it alongside the care you already get.
How it works
Three things happen in a TECAR session
A certified practitioner does all of this in one visit of about 30 minutes.

Founder and clinical lead
Some of my patients didn't want to take pills, and some were afraid of needles. TECAR gave me a way to help both.

Ana G.34, Houston, Texas - Stroke rehab20 sessions

“I pulled my hamstring six weeks before a marathon. My physical therapist added TECAR to my rehab, and I ran the race without pain.”
Jordan P.29, Austin, Texas - Practitioner
“TECAR gets the tissue ready faster, so my patients spend more of each visit on exercise. Many of them also book TECAR-only sessions between their regular visits.”
Rachel S., PT, DPTPhysical therapist and owner, Lamar Street Physical Therapy, Austin - Back pain6 sessions
“I'd been taking ibuprofen most days for two years. After the third session I could tie my shoes without bracing myself on the bed. Now I take something maybe once a week.”
Marcus T.47, Sugar Land, Texas - Tennis elbow7 sessions

Ray S.58, Fort Worth, Texas - Heel pain6 sessions
“I'm an ER nurse. The first steps out of bed used to make me wince, and by the end of a shift I was limping. Twelve-hour shifts are manageable again.”
Teresa V.44, San Antonio, Texas - Neck and shoulder5 sessions
