Interferential Currents (IFC)

 What does this mean?

IFC uses the transcutaneous application of alternating medium-frequency electrical currents, amplitude modulated at low frequency for therapeutic purposes. The electrical current is applied to the affected area using four electrodes. The four electrodes are placed in such a way that the two currents produced cross each other in the affected area. During treatment you will feel a tingling or "pins and needles" sensation at the contact area of the sponges. This addresses the issues of pain, spasm, and inflammation. Other issues associated with your condition will be addressed with an appropriate exercise and manual therapy program.
