What is Interferential Stimulation Therapy?
Interferential stimulation therapy is a therapeutic technique that employs electrical currents to stimulate tissues in the body. This method is typically administered through electrodes placed on the skin over the targeted area. The treatment session generally lasts around 15 minutes, during which patients may feel a gentle sensation as the currents work through the tissues.
What are the benefits?
Interferential stimulation therapy effectively reduces both acute and chronic pain by blocking pain signals to the brain, providing significant relief. Additionally, interferential stimulation therapy decreases swelling and inflammation, promoting faster recovery, while enhancing blood circulation to deliver essential nutrients to injured tissues. The therapy also promotes muscle relaxation, alleviating tightness and improving mobility.

Combining electrical stimulation (e-stim) and ultrasound helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing. Ultrasound warms deep tissues to improve circulation, while e-stim relaxes muscles and eases tension. Together, they enhance comfort and recovery, making chiropractic treatments more effective.
