Interferential Therapy

Interferential Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-frequency electrical currents to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing—especially when combined with non-surgical spinal decompression for herniated discs and nerve-related conditions.

 

Interferential Therapy as Part of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

When someone experiences a herniated disc, they may suffer from a 

range of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasms, and radiculopathy

—a condition where the pain radiates along the nerve pathways, often

extending to the legs or arms. At Triangle Spinal Decompression in 

Cary, NC, we understand the pain that comes with a herniated disc and 

offer Interferential Therapy (IFT) as part of a comprehensive treatment

plan.

 

What is Interferential Therapy (IFT)?

IFT is a non-invasive physical therapy that uses low-frequency 

electrical currents to relieve pain and support tissue repair. 

The currents, known as interferential currents (IFC), help block pain signals from reaching the brain. When combined with non-surgical spinal decompression, IFT can be a powerful tool for managing pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing in patients with disc-related injuries.

 

How Interferential Therapy Helps

IFT works by reducing inflammation and promoting the healing of soft tissues and nerves. This is particularly helpful for individuals dealing with both acute and chronic pain. The low-frequency electrical currents stimulate the muscles, reduce muscle spasms, and encourage better blood circulation. This, in turn, accelerates the healing process by improving tissue repair and reducing swelling.

 

Key Benefits of Interferential Therapy

IFT offers a range of benefits that make it an ideal option for treating herniated or slipped discs:

• Instant pain relief: The deep penetration of electrical currents provides quick relief from pain associated with disc injuries.

• Relaxation of muscles: Continuous muscle contraction during IFT sessions helps relax spasmodic muscles, improving blood flow and easing tension.

• Enhanced circulation: Better blood flow promotes faster healing of soft tissues, reducing swelling, bruising, and inflammation.

• Toxin elimination: The therapy helps the body flush out harmful substances from the injured areas, accelerating recovery.
