What is interferential?



Interferential therapy is widely used by physiotherapists. It uses electrical current to reduce swelling, relieve pain and stimulate muscle. Interferential applies two different frequencies that interfere with one another to produce a medium frequency current within the tissues.

Benefits of interferential



Benefits of interferential include:
  • Increasing local blood flow to reduce swelling
  • Pain relief
  • Reduce muscle spasm
  • Interferential can be used to treat incontinence or muscle weakness secondary to trauma or surgery. This is only used in extreme weakness when a person cannot produce a muscle contraction. In order to treat stress incontinence electrodes are placed over the lower abdomen and inner thigh to produce a muscle contraction of the pelvic floor muscles.
The physiotherapists at Physio.co.uk may use interferential to treat your condition. For more information or to book an assessment please call 0330 088 7800. You can also book an appointment online today!
