Interferential Muscle Stimulation - Introduction
Interferential Muscle Stimulation is a gentle yet powerful form of electrical therapy that uses safe, low-frequency electrical currents to naturally reduce pain and promote healing deep within your tissues. Unlike other forms of electrical stimulation that might feel uncomfortable, this advanced treatment delivers therapeutic benefits through a pleasant tingling sensation that most patients find relaxing and soothing.
What is Interferential Muscle Stimulation?
Interferential muscle stimulation is a therapeutic treatment that uses electrical currents to reduce pain and promote healing. This advanced electrotherapy technique delivers targeted electrical impulses to affected muscles and nerves.
How It Works
Small electrodes are placed on your skin around the treatment area. The device generates two different electrical frequencies that intersect, creating a therapeutic effect that:
-
Blocks pain signals to your brain
-
Reduces inflammation and swelling
-
Improves blood circulation

Stimulates the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals
