What is
Interferential Electro-Therapy?

relief of pain and the promotion of soft
tissue healing. How does
Interferential Electro-Therapy work?
Tiny amounts of electrical impulses are
induced into the tissues in the vicinity of
the injury. Where these waves intersect
below the surface of the skin, a
low-frequency stimulation is created. This
prompts the body to secrete endorphins and
other natural painkillers to help relieve
pain. What does
Interferential Electro-Therapy feel like?
Most patients find Interferential
Electro-Therapies to be extremely beneficial
and describe the treatment as a faint
'tingling' sensation. Some can feel the
relative circular rotation of the current.

Interferential Electro-Therapies is most
often used for pain relief and to aid in
reducing the swelling of soft tissue.

reduce atrophy and increase blood
circulation.
