Interferential Therapy (IFT)
Deep Electrical Stimulation for Pain Relief
IFT is a safe and effective form of electrical stimulation used to relieve pain and accelerate the self-healing process. It reaches deeper tissues than TENS, making it ideal for chronic conditions.
What is IFT?
Interferential Therapy uses two medium-frequency electrical currents that "interfere" or cross each other deep within your tissues. This creates a low-frequency therapeutic current exactly at the spot where it's needed, allowing for deeper penetration with less discomfort at the skin level.
Benefits of IFT
- Pain Blockade: Stimulates nerve fibers to block pain signals to the brain (Gate Control Theory).
- Reduces Swelling: Improves circulation and helps remove inflammatory fluid (edema).
- Muscle Relaxation: Reduces muscle spasms and stiffness.
- Endorphin Release: Stimulates the body's natural painkillers.
Conditions Treated
- Chronic Back Pain
- Arthritis (Knee, Hip, Shoulder)
- Frozen Shoulder
- Sciatica
- Sports Injuries (Sprains and Strains)
