Interferential Electro-therapy is a therapeutic treatment that promotes soft tissue healing and pain relief. Tiny electrical impulses are placed over the injured tissue and the waves intersect below the skin to create a low-frequency stimulation. This stimulation promotes the body's secretion of endorphins, nature's pain relievers. The patient experiences a "pins and needles" sensation while the current works to reduce pain, decrease local swelling, promote muscle tone, restore normal movements and accelerate the healing process.

Interferential Therapy works by sending small electrical impulses through the skin. These impulses stimulate underlying nerves and tissue reducing pain, edema and inflammation. This, in return, reduces or eliminates the need for most pain-related drugs.

Interferential Therapy was first introduced over forty years ago. Due to the size and design of the clinical unit, Interferential Therapy has been traditionally applied in hospitals or clinics.

Applications:
Interferential Therapy is used in the treatment of circulatory disorders, range of motion, edema and muscle spasms.

Advantages:
Since Interferential Therapy has been in use for many years, its effectiveness is well documented. Interferential Therapy aids in circulation, increasing the recovery time for patients. Multiple treatments will typically speed the patient's recovery and allow earlier resumption of their normal lifestyle.

Commonly Asked Questions in Regards to Interferential Therapy:

Are Interferential devices safe?
YES. Although the thought of electrical impulses being sent into the body may seem frightening at first, all you really feel is a slight vibrating sensation. Unlike many drugs, Interferential devices have no known side effects.
