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.
Interferential Therapy as part of a treatment regime :-
The use of IFT should be considered a part of the whole treatment of the condition.
The whole treatment may include: • Exercises to stretch injured muscles • Exercises to move stiff joints • Exercises to strengthen muscle groups to support the joints
Your physiotherapist will advise you accordingly.
Stiff joints are invariably painful so it is important to appreciate that gentle movement is generally better than resting.

NECK PAIN RELIEF
Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a non-invasive physical therapy for pain relief and tissue repair. It uses low-frequency electrical currents that generate a frequency intending to prevent pain signals from being transmitted to the brain. This frequency is called an interferential current or IFC. IFT or Interferential Therapy has been known to deliver a continuous stimulation deep into the affected tissue. The stimulation both blocks neck pain and reduces swelling and inflammation at the shoulder.
BACK PAIN RELIEF
Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a non-invasive physical therapy for pain relief and tissue repair. It uses low-frequency electrical currents that generate a frequency intending to prevent pain signals from being transmitted to the brain. This frequency is called an interferential current or IFC. IFT or Interferential Therapy has been known to deliver a continuous stimulation deep into the affected tissue. The stimulation both blocks back pain and reduces swelling and inflammation at the shoulder.
ELBOW PAIN RELIEF
Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a non-invasive physical therapy for pain relief and tissue repair. It uses low-frequency electrical currents that generate a frequency intending to prevent pain signals from being transmitted to the brain. This frequency is called an interferential current or IFC. IFT or Interferential Therapy has been known to deliver a continuous stimulation deep into the affected tissue. The stimulation both blocks elbow pain and reduces swelling and inflammation at the shoulder.
SHOULDER PAIN RELIEF
Interferential Therapy (IFT) is a non-invasive physical therapy for pain relief and tissue repair. It uses low-frequency electrical currents that generate a frequency intending to prevent shoulder pain signals from being transmitted to the brain. This frequency is called an interferential current or IFC.

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 spondylosis.
- Pain of the knee.
- Ankylosing 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)
- Joint Pain.
- Muscle injuries
- Ligamentous injuries

Conditions Treated by IFT
The benefits of IFT Physiotherapy apply to many painful conditions. Some of them include the following:
- Cervical Spondylosis – IFT for shoulder pain helps cure neck and spine degenerative joint pain. It cures muscle spasms and gradually decreases the amount of pain patients experience.
- Ankylosing Pain – IFT for shoulder pain can cure inflammatory pain in the vertebrae. The frequencies prevent wastage buildup in injured locations. A damaged vertebra heals faster.
- Pain of the Knee – Regular IFT physiotherapy loosens the tendons around the knee area. The frequencies also promote the production of endorphins which causes the inflamed muscles and tendons to heal faster.
- Edema – Patients with this condition have too much watery fluid in their tissues. The vibrations from the IFT treatment frequencies eliminate extra fluids from the tissues. Better circulation also leads to these fluids exiting the affected areas faster.
Some other standard conditions of IFT physiotherapy can heal frozen shoulder (chronic shoulder pain), joint pain, disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, and all types of muscle and ligamentous injuries.

WHAT EFFECTS DOES IFT HAVE ON THE BODY?
Interferential therapy is frequently utilized, Interferential Therapy's Effects include:-
● Inflammation and pain are reduced.
● Blood Circulation is enhanced.
● Vasodilation is induced by this substance.
● Removes garbage from the region in question.
● The metabolic rate is increased.
● Blood pressure is lowered.
● Treats ligamentous lesions that have been present for a long time.
● Hematoma and edema are both treated with this product.
● Joint mobility is improved.
● It stimulates the muscles more.
● Muscle mobility is re-established.
