What is it?
Interferential muscle stimulation is a type of electrotherapy that uses low-frequency electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. IFC is most often used in physical rehabilitation and pain management.
Benefits:
- Reduction of Edema: IFC helps reduce the swelling and fluid retention (edema) in the affected area
- Pain Relief: IFC is effective in reducing chronic pain (e.g. back pain, arthritis) and acute pain (e.g. pain from injuries)
- Non-Invasive & Drug-Free: Suitable alternative for individuals who prefer to avoid medication or invasive procedures.
- Enhanced Range of Motion: Reduce pain and muscle stiffness to improve the range of motion in joints.
- Increased Blood Circulation: IFC can improve blood flow to the treated areas.
This aids in the healing process, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue repair.
- Customizable for Patient Needs: Both the intensity and frequency of the electrical currents can be adjusted based on patient needs.
- Muscle Relaxation & Spasm Reduction: Use IFC to relax muscles and reduce spasms. Recommended for people who suffer from muscle tension or spasticity
