Interferential Therapy

Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a form of electrical stimulation used for pain relief and muscle rehabilitation. It works by delivering two medium-frequency electrical currents that intersect and create a therapeutic low-frequency effect. This stimulates nerves, improves blood circulation, and reduces inflammation. IFT is widely used for chronic pain, muscle spasms, joint injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Unlike TENS, which works at a superficial level, IFT penetrates deeper into tissues, providing more effective pain relief. It enhances muscle contractions, helping in cases of muscle weakness or atrophy. The therapy is painless and is administered using electrode pads placed on the skin. It is often combined with exercise therapy for long-term recovery. IFT is a preferred choice for patients with arthritis, sciatica, frozen shoulder, and back pain. Regular sessions help restore mobility and improve overall musculoskeletal function.
