What is it?
Interferential Electro-Therapy is a treatment to aid in the relief of pain and the promotion of soft tissue healing.
Why is it used?
Interferential Electro-Therapy is used for pain relief, as well as, to reduce the swelling of soft tissues. Ligament sprains, muscle strains, and spasms often respond to this treatment, helping to reduce atrophy and increase blood circulation.
How does it work?
Tiny electrical impulses are iduced 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 natrual pain killers to help relive the pain and inflammation.
What does it feel like?
Many patients find this therapy to be very relaxing. It will feel as if the stimulations are massaging the muscle.
