Beatriz's Stenosis Greatly Eased with TECAR Therapy

Published: 7 December 2021

TECAR therapy for stenosis Beatriz's story

Beatriz came to us with severe back pain and trapped nerves in her legs following two previous spinal operations. She had an interspinous spacer device in her spine, which meant she was not a suitable candidate for IDD Therapy.

After reviewing her MRI reports, we determined that TECAR Therapy could address the scar tissue from previous surgeries. The results were significant.

What Beatriz Experienced

Beatriz's son Ed reported in a testimonial: "The pain has improved a lot and the intensity of it has diminished a great deal. She is experiencing little or no pain on her back and little pain down her legs."

Key improvements included:

  • Substantial reduction in back and leg pain
  • Enhanced quality of life and increased confidence
  • Able to take short walks independently
  • Better balance and security on her feet
  • Residual numbness reduced from the full leg to below the knee only

TECAR Therapy After Spinal Surgery

Post-surgical patients with metalwork or implants are often excluded from many treatments. TECAR therapy is one of the few modalities that can still be used in many of these cases, as it works with the body's natural electrical properties rather than applying mechanical force.

For patients with scar tissue from previous surgery, TECAR's deep-penetrating radio-frequency energy can help reduce fibrotic adhesions, improve circulation in the affected area, and calm the nerve irritation that persists after procedures.

TECAR Therapy for Spinal Stenosis

Even without prior surgery, TECAR is a valuable tool for spinal stenosis because it penetrates deeper than laser, ultrasound, or shockwave therapy. It can reach the spinal canal itself, reducing the neurogenic inflammation that drives stenosis symptoms. Many patients report being able to walk significantly further after a course of TECAR treatment.
