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.
