Winback Therapy
Winback TECAR Therapy is a non-invasive, advanced cellular bio-stimulator that uses targeted radiofrequency currents to rapidly eliminate pain, reduce post-surgical swelling, and re-awaken dormant muscles. By combining therapeutic deep heat with specialized electrical stimulation, it accelerates recovery times for acute injuries, surgical trauma, and chronic scar tissue right here in Tustin.
Winback TECAR Therapy: Advanced Post-Surgical & Trauma Recovery
At Rehab and Revive, we specialize in cutting-edge rehabilitation technologies that accelerate your body’s natural healing response. Serving Tustin and the greater Orange County area, we are proud to offer Winback TECAR Therapy—a revolutionary, non-invasive bio-accelerator that eliminates pain, reduces swelling, and fast-tracks recovery after surgery or major physical trauma.
Understanding Trauma & Surgery
With over 30 years of combined years intensive rehabilitation experience treating complex post-surgical cases, head-to-toe fractures, and severe trauma, our clinical team understands exactly what happens to your tissues after an injury.
When your body experiences trauma or surgery, two things happen immediately:
-
Severe Swelling and Inflammation: Fluid rushes to the area, creating a highly pressurized, painful environment.
-
Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI): This is an automatic, neurological reflex where your brain turns OFF the muscles surrounding an injury to protect it.
To simplify it, think of your body like a Christmas tree:
-
The Brain is the power box and GPS map.
-
The Nerves are the electrical wiring.
-
The Muscles are the live light bulbs.
After a surgery or trauma, your body sends a massive "Ouch!" signal to the power box. In response, your brain shuts off the wiring, causing the surrounding light bulbs (muscles) to go dark. Your brain then forces other body parts to overwork, leading to painful structural compensations.
To truly heal, your tissues require both healthy blood circulation (the pipes) and active nerve communication (the wires) to bring oxygen and nutrition back to those dormant light bulbs. That is exactly where Winback steps in.
What is Winback TECAR Therapy?
The Winback system is an advanced cellular bio-stimulator that combines three distinct, powerful electrical currents (High TENS, High NMES, and TECAR current) to heal targeted tissues simultaneously. By sending targeted radiofrequency currents deep into the body, it delivers three primary therapeutic effects:
-
Biological Effect: Dynamically increases fluid exchange and cellular metabolism.
-
Analgesic Effect: Immediately blocks pain signals sent to the brain.
-
Diathermic Effect: Deeply warms the tissue to massively boost localized blood circulation.
Precision Depth Targeting: CET vs. RET Currents
Unlike standard heating pads or basic electronic stimulation, Winback allows our practitioners to precisely target different tissue depths by adjusting the frequencies:
Current Type | Frequency & Depth | Best Used For |
|---|---|---|
RET (Restrictive) | 500 kHz | Hard, highly resistive structures deep within the body (joints, tendons, ligaments, and deep scar tissue). |
CET (Capacitive) | 500 kHz (soft) & 300 kHz (Deept) | Superficial or deep soft tissues (muscles, fascia, lymphatic pathways, and internal organ viscera). |
Additionally, Winback features a High TENS setting (ranging from 2 Hz for chronic endorphin release to 25 Hz for acute pain management) and a High EMS setting. The EMS mode utilizes Focal (1.5 kHz) and Radial (4 kHz) modes to recruit dormant muscle chains, alongside a Drain mode (3.5 Hz to 50 Hz) to actively flush out stubborn post-surgical swelling and edema.
How Winback Accelerates Recovery at Every Stage
Whether your injury happened yesterday or ten years ago, Winback TECAR Therapy alters tissue properties, breaks down fibrotic changes, and eliminates hyperactive muscle tension.
-
Acute Injuries & Fresh Post-Surgical Sites: Winback instantly maximizes micro-circulation between cells, bringing vital oxygen to fresh wounds, shutting down acute pain, and significantly reducing post-op swelling.
-
Subacute Injuries (3 Days to 6+ Weeks): Higher heat intensities are introduced to dilate veins and arteries, washing out cellular waste while the electrical stimulation re-awakens the "wires" to get your muscle light bulbs firing properly again.
-
Chronic Scar Tissue & Old Traumas: When combined with our expert hands-on manual therapy, Winback breaks down dense, restrictive scar tissue, restarts collagen synthesis, and helps you regain lost sensation, flexibility, and movement control.
Is Winback Safe for You?
Winback is exceptionally safe and can be used directly over healing fractures and IUD implants. However, it cannot be used if you meet any of the following criteria:
Strict Contraindications
Electrical implants (pacemakers, insulin pumps, or neurostimulators—unless explicitly cleared by your MD)
Active cancer or tumors
Thrombophlebitis (blood clots)
Active fever or systemic infection
Inability to feel or detect heat
Pregnancy
Pediatric/minor patients
What to Expect & How to Maximize Your Results
During a Winback session, you will feel a deep, highly relaxing, therapeutic warmth. Most patients experience an immediate reduction in pain before even leaving the clinic.
The pleasant sensation of deep heat will continue to linger within your tissues for 1 to 2 hours post-treatment. While Winback alone can suppress pain for 24 to 48 hours, combining Winback with our specialized manual therapy provides significantly longer-lasting relief.
To get the absolute most out of your session:
-
Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water before and after your appointment. Winback relies on fluid exchange at the cellular level, so being fully hydrated maximizes its efficacy.
-
Come Clean: Do not apply any cosmetics, lotions, body creams, or essential oils to the treatment area prior to your session.
