Interferential Electro-Therapy

Interferential Electro-Therapy is most often used for pain relief and to aid in reducing the swelling of soft tissue. Ligament sprains, muscle strains and spasms often respond to this treatment, helping to reduce atrophy and increase blood circulation. Tiny amounts of electrical impulses are induced into the tissues in the vicinity of the injury. Where these electrical waves intersect below the surface of the skin, a low-frequency stimulation is created. This prompts the body to secrete endorphins and other natural pain killers to help relieve discomfort.
