Interferential therapy
One of the non invasive pain management
therapy employs electrical stimulation to heal and relieve pain in damaged
tissues. Interferential
therapy, as it is known, also boosts the
body’s ability to respond to pain, besides accelerating blood circulation and
produces hormones to enhance healing process.
A constant frequency is applied to one of
the electrodes in a pair to which a slightly different frequency is applied to
another electrode. Together, they produce an amplitude modulated medium
frequency also known as beat frequency, in the tissue. Four pole configurations
are also used for healing purposes in interferential therapy.
These intermittent pulses block pain
signals and stimulate affected tissue and relieve pain. IFT is basically used
for treating chronic, post traumatic, post surgical pains.
Spine specialist Dr Karunakaran, backed by more than two decades of experience, provides inferential therapy in Chennai.
