Interferential therapy is a state-of-the-art physical therapy modality which is getting a lot of publicity because of its results in reducing pain and speeding up healing times. Interferential was first used in professional and Olympic athletes where it was noticed immediately that injury recovery rates were much faster in those athletes using the therapy has been used in clinics across the country to help treat all types of injuries in kids to seniors. Interferential has been proven to be an effective approach for acute and chronic pain control without the side effects often associated with analgesic medications.

How does it work?
Interferential therapy delivers an electrical current to all injured, inflamed, and painful tissues. This electrical current has numerous physiological effects that decrease pain and promote healing. Those therapeutic effects are as follows:

•	When a bodily tissue is injured, it immediately sends a nerve impulse to the brain to let you know that a structure has been damaged. The electrical current of interferential blocks the conduction of that nerve impulse, thus increasing your pain threshold by blocking pain impulses. This decreases the amount of pain you feel in a natural way. The electrical current also activates the internal release of endorphins and enkephalins, the body's own natural opioid painkillers.
•	The electrical current facilitates muscle contractions that help to relax muscle spasms and restore normal muscle firing patterns.
•	The electrical current stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps rid the area of all swelling and edema.
•	The electrical current increases blood circulation, thus improving healing by ridding the area of damaged cells and brining more healing and repairing cells to the injured area.

Interferential therapy is used for all types of conditions and injuries. We use interferential for the following conditions: acute and chronic pain, muscle spasms, sprains, strains, muscle knots and adhesions, muscle trigger points, swelling, tendonitis, bursitis, disc lesions, sciatica, and arm or leg pain/numbness/tingling.

Interferential therapy should not be used over metallic implants, pregnancy, cancer, heart/pacemaker, or open wounds.
