WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS OR SYMPTOMS TREATED BY INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY (IFT)?
IFT works in a special way as it uses interferential rather than normal stimulation. The main clinical applications for which IFT appears to be used are as:
- Pain Relief in conditions such as causalgia, herpes zoster, and neuralgia.
- Cervical Pain.
- Pain of the knee.
- Ankylosing Pain
- Joint Pain.
- Frozen shoulder.
- Disc herniation.
- Spinal canal stenosis.
- Muscle Stimulation - prevent muscle wastage, re-education, maintain range of motion stress incontinence
- Reduction of Edema (Condition involving the excess collection of watery fluid in the cavities or tissues)
- Muscle injuries
- Ligamentous injuries

WHAT ARE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY (IFT)?
Interferential therapy is widely used but the Physiotherapist should know how to use it depending on the condition. Interferential Therapy uses the significant physiological effects of low frequency (<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves. 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.

SHOULDER PAIN RELIEF
IFT or Interferential Therapy has been known to deliver a continuous stimulation deep into the affected tissue. The stimulation both blocks pain and reduces swelling and inflammation at the shoulder.

NECK PAIN RELIEF
IFT or Interferential Therapy has been known to deliver a continuous stimulation deep into the affected tissue. The stimulation both blocks pain and reduces swelling and inflammation at the neck

BACK PAIN RELIEF
IFT or Interferential Therapy has been known to deliver a continuous stimulation deep into the affected tissue. The stimulation both blocks pain and reduces swelling and inflammation at the back.

KNEE PAIN RELIEF
IFT or Interferential Therapy has been known to deliver a continuous stimulation deep into the affected tissue. The stimulation both blocks pain and reduces swelling and inflammation at the knees.

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.
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.

PHYSIOWELL COMPUTERISED IFT 29 PROGRAM
IFT physiotherapy is an application of a wider concept known as Interferential Treatment. The method gets its name from the fact that it uses safe levels of electric current to interfere with the natural working and stimulate the tissues. This stimulation did knowingly as part of the IFT therapy, lead to multiple benefits like localized pain relief and an increase in the body’s healing rate.
The frequency and the levels of current being used during IFT treatment in physiotherapy are carefully controlled and varied by skilled physiotherapists. The process works by stimulating parasympathetic nerve fibers that lead to an increase in blood flow and the subsequent healing. The body’s self-healing process is triggered by this process, making sure that the effects last beyond the session of 15 minutes to 1 hour.
If you ever visit a physiotherapist to receive IFT physiotherapy for back pain, you will likely go through the following process – The physiotherapist will be using a device that has four electrodes and a regulator to control the current frequency and intensity. An electrode gel is first applied to the area identified for the IFT therapy. The electrodes are then placed on the affected area, above the gel, at right angles to each other.
Two different intensities of current are then passed via the electrodes with a frequency difference of nearly 100Hz. The current thus emitted passes through the skin and reaches the part causing the pain. The sensation produced by the current’s interference stimulates the tissues, increasing the blood flow and leading to the self-healing process kicking in. This is why IFT for back pain is well sought after as it is non-invasive and effective.
