Interferential Current Therapy (IFC) is an effective treatment method used to relieve pain and accelerate the body’s natural healing process. It is a deeper form of electrical stimulation that targets underlying tissues more effectively.
During the treatment, electrodes are placed on the skin around the injured area, and an Interferential Current device transmits low-level electrical impulses through the skin. These impulses stimulate the underlying tissue and nerves, promoting healing without causing pain. Patients often describe the sensation as a gentle prickling on the skin.
