Interferential Therapy

What is Interferential Therapy (IFT)?

Interferential Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses low-frequency electrical currents to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and promote healing—helping restore muscle function and accelerate recovery without drugs or surgery.

 

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.

 

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 InterferentialTherapy (IFT)

as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

 

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.
