Interferential Electrical Stimulation

The basic principle of interferential therapy ift is to utilise the strong physiologicaportable iftl effects of low frequency 250pps electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stim.

Interferential electrical stimulation.

Electrical stimulation is a type of physical therapy modality used to accomplish various tasks in physical therapy pt. If you have an injury or illness that causes pain or limited functional mobility your physical therapist may use electrical stimulation or e stim as one part of your rehabilitation program. The basic principle of interferential therapy ift is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency 250pps electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stimulation.

Electrical stimulation for tissue repair estr helps reduce swelling increase circulation and speed up wound healing. It can be used to treat sprains and other muscle injuries under the direction of a physician or physical therapist. What is electrical stimulation. Interferential therapy is a form of electrical stimulation therapy that involves the application of two currents at slightly different frequencies that interfere with each other in the tissues of the body and generate a third low frequency current.

Interferential current therapy is stimulation made by the interception of two electrical mediums of varying frequencies that work together to successfully stimulate large impulse fibers. 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. Interferential current ifc stimulates nerves to reduce pain.

Inferential current ifc electrical stimulation is a type of electrical stimulation that your physical therapist may use to help decrease your pain and improve circulation to injured tissues. Interferential electrical stimulation is a therapeutic treatment to aid in the relief of pain and the promotion of soft tissue healing. The ifc works much like tens but the current can be easily moved and varied to target your most painful area of injury.
