Patient Benefits

Reduces painful symptoms
Decreases local swelling
Helps restore normal movements
Releases the body's natural painkillers
Accelerates the healing process

Interferential current therapy is a treatment to aid the relief of pain and the promotion of soft-tissue healing.

Tiny electrical impulses are induced into the tissues in the area of the pain. Where these waves intersect below the surface of the skin, the low-frequency stimulation induces the body to secrete endorphins, which are the body's natural pain-killers.

Most patients find interferential therapy to be very beneficial and describe the treatment as being relaxing and having a 'pins and needles' sensation.

Ligament sprains, muscle strains and spasms often respond well to interferential current therapy.
