It is a therapeutic treatment to aid in the relief of pain and the promotion of soft tissue healing.
How does Interferential Electro-Therapy work?
Tiny amounts of electrical impulses are induced
into the tissues in the vicinity of the injury. Where
these waves intersect below the surface of the
skin, a low-frequency stimulation is created. This
prompts the body to secrete endorphins and other
natural painkillers to help relieve pain.
What does Interferential Electro-Therapy feel like?
Most patients
find Interferential Electro-Therapy to be extremely beneficial and describe the treatment as a faint 'pins and needles' sensation.
Why is Interferential Electro-Therapy used?
Interferential Electro-Therapy is
most often used for pain relief and to aid in reducing
the swelling of soft tissue. Ligament sprains,
muscle strains and spasms often respond to this
treatment, helping to reduce atrophy and increase
blood circulation.
