Background: TECAR (Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy is a novel deep thermal modality with unique properties that allow targeted treatment of various tissues, including muscles and joint capsules. Unlike similar modalities such as Ultrasound (US) and Shortwave Diathermy (SWD), TECAR therapy overcomes certain limitations. Coccydynia, characterized by pain in the coccygeal region, often arises due to sudden impact or traumatic injury, leading to inflammation and discomfort in surrounding ligaments and muscles.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of TECAR therapy in managing Coccydynia.

Methodology: A total of 30 patients (mean age: 40 years, range: 30-50; 10 males, 20 females) with a mean pain duration of 2-6 months participated in the study. The treatment protocol consisted of 12 TECAR therapy sessions over 3 consecutive weeks (4 days/week), with a frequency of 500 Hz and intensity of 30-50%.

Results: The study demonstrated significant improvements in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, indicating substantial pain relief and functional improvement.

Conclusion: TECAR therapy demonstrates potential as an effective, non-invasive treatment option for Coccydynia patients, offering a valuable alternative for managing this condition.
