Interferential Stimulation is characterized by the crossing of two independent electrical frequencies that work together to stimulate large impulse fibers. These frequencies interfere with the transmission of pain messages at the spinal cord level. Because of the frequency, deep tissue penetration is achieved, and it can be adjusted to stimulate parasympathetic nerve fibers for increased blood flow. Interferential Stimulation differs from TENS because it allows a deeper penetration of the tissue with more comfort and increased circulation, both of which result in improved compliance and rehabilitation. Pre and post-orthopedic surgery patients, patients suffering from joint injury syndromes, trauma disorders, and patients in need of increased circulation and pain control will benefit from Interferential therapy. Patients with range of motion limitations and muscle spasms will also find relief. Additional Information Since Interferential Therapy’s effectiveness is well documented - studies have shown that patients using Interferential Therapy after surgery develop fewer post-op complications than those relying solely on narcotics for pain relief. Interferential Therapy aids in circulation and pain relief, decreasing the recovery time for patients with acute or chronic injuries. Multiple treatments at home or work will typically speed the patient's recovery and allow earlier resumption of their normal lifestyle.
