WHAT IS INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY (IFT)?
IFT which stands for Interferential Therapy is one of the types of electrotherapy used for the management of pain. The principle of interferential therapy is to cause two medium-frequency currents of slightly different frequencies to interfere with one another. For example, if circuit A carries a current with a frequency of 4000Hz and Circuit B carries a current with a frequency of 3980 Hz, then the low frequency produced will be 20 Hz and this frequency is very useful in pain modulation. A new low-frequency current known as the beat frequency is equal to the difference in frequencies between the two medium-frequency currents produced in the tissues at the point where the two currents cross. It is basically used for the treatment of Chronic, Post Traumatic, and Post-surgical pains. The basic principle involves the utilization of effects of low frequencies (<250pps) without painful or unpleasant side effects. The major advantage of IFT is that it produces effects in the tissue, exactly where required without unnecessary and uncomfortable skin stimulation. This technique is widely used to elicit muscle contraction, promote healing and reduce edema. Effects of Interferential Therapy: .Reduces pain and inflammation. .Increases blood circulation. .Causes vasodilation. .Removes waste substances from the affected area. .Increases metabolic rate. .Decreases blood pressure. .Treats chronic ligamentous lesions. .Cures edema and hematoma. .Improves restricted movements of joints. .Increases muscle stimulation. .Restores the lost movement of muscles. Who Can Benefit from IFT Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a safe and effective treatment option for musculoskeletal conditions. Here are some examples of individuals who may benefit from IFT therapy:- Patients with Chronic Pain: IFT can be a highly effective treatment option for chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia, joint pain , or chronic low back pain. Athletes: IFT can help athletes recover from injuries, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. It can also be used to improve athletic performance by stimulating muscle contractions. Individuals with Acute Injuries: IFT can manage pain and promote healing following acute injuries, such as sprains, strains, or fractures. Seniors: IFT can be a useful treatment option for seniors experiencing age-related pain and stiffness or recovering from surgery. Individuals with Peripheral Neuropathy: IFT can be an effective treatment option for patients with peripheral neuropathy, which can cause numbness, pain, and tingling in the extremities. Patients with Tension Headaches: IFT can help manage tension headaches by reducing muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Patients with Joint Pain: IFT can manage pain and reduce inflammation associated with joint pain conditions such as joint pain. It's important to note that IFT may not be appropriate for everyone. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider to determine if IFT is a suitable treatment option for their specific condition
