Interferential therapy (IFT) is a type of electrotherapy that uses two medium-frequency electrical currents to produce a low-frequency current at the treatment site. The low-frequency current stimulates nerves and muscles, which can help to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms. IFT is often used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Muscle pain
- Joint pain
- Nerve pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Post-surgical pain
- Sports injuries
IFT is generally safe for most people. However, it is important to talk to your doctor before using IFT if you have any health conditions, such as:
- Heart problems
- Epilepsy
- Pacemaker
- Metal implants
IFT is a non-invasive treatment that is typically painless.
