What is Interferential therapy (IFT) Conditions can be treated by IFT How Physio Health Plus can help you in Treating those conditions from IFT


 

 

 INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY AND USE OF IT AT PHYSIO HEALTH PLUS

 

Interferential Therapy, often known as IFT, is a type of electrotherapy treatment that uses electric currents to activate tissue, providing pain relief, swelling reduction, and other health advantages. IFT is famous for treating pain.

 

IFT employs a variety of frequencies to encourage the body's favorable responses, such as increasing blood supply to an area, which speeds up recovery. IFT in gurgaon is mostly used to treat chronic, traumatic, and surgical pains.

 

Interferential therapy involves the simultaneous passage of two medium frequency currents through the tissues.

Their paths overlap, and they interfere with one another. This interference produces a beat frequency that possesses low-frequency stimulation

 

The medium frequency currents permeate the tissues with negligible resistance, while the generated interference current (low frequency) is within the range of biological tissue stimulation.

 

WHAT ARE THE METHODS OF APPLICATION OF IFT?

     Plate Electrodes

     Vacuum Electrodes'

     Combined Electrodes

     Quadripolar bipolar method

     Scanning/static

 

WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS THAT IFT TREATS?

IFT is unique in that it uses interferential stimulation instead of traditional stimulation. IFT appears to be utilized for the following therapeutic applications:

 

     Spondylitis Ankylosing

     Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the joints.

     Frozen Shoulder

     Herniation of the discs

     The narrowing of the spinal canal.

     Injuries to the muscles

     Injury to the ligaments

     Joint Injuries (IFT)

     Pain in the Knees

     Injuries caused by sports

     Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) after surgery

     Injuries to the spine, neck, and shoulder

 

WHAT IS THE MECHANISM OF IFT?

Unlike TENS machines, which use intermittent pulses to stimulate surface nerves and inhibit pain signals, IFT machines use constant stimulation deep into the afflicted tissue. Pain is blocked, while edema and inflammation, which can cause pain, are reduced by the stimulation.

 

To overcome skin resistance, IFT employs a 4000Hz carrier wave.

Four-pole interferential therapy works by sending two slightly different-frequency impulses into the tissue. The two signals "interfere" at the point where they cross, resulting in a lower frequency therapeutic current. This interference current is created in the diagram in theory. Because tissues do not conduct electricity equally, currents rarely interact with the desired target area in practice. Therapists frequently "search" for the ideal electrode locations with adjustable electrodes.

 

For untrained household use, this is a minor problem. Many patients find it difficult to simply locate and connect up to four electrodes, let alone optimize their position.

 

Vectored fields are used with some costly equipment. These are a partial answer to this problem because they constantly move the interference zone throughout the volume between the electrodes, but they only treat the problematic area for a portion of the treatment time.

 

HOW IS IFT DIFFERENT?

 

Because it is 'interferential' rather than 'regular' stimulation, the deep penetration of Interferential therapy signals acts in an aecial way,' and hence is effective in its own right. It is noted for its versatility in treating a variety of symptoms, speeding up the healing process, and restoring normal movement, and when used in conjunction with other therapy methods such as TENS or EMS, it can effectively double the healing process of the affected area. If you want to use an IFT physiotherapy equipment at home in addition to other treatment options,

 

In the field of chronic pain, interferential therapy is one of the most successful forms of electrotherapy. This treatment is far more effective than TENS and any other therapies that follow.

 

The popularity of the IFT machine has grown to the point where it is now the most widely used kind of power. Since the 1950s, the machine has been used throughout Europe for a variety of purposes because of its unique kind of stimulation.

 

WHAT EFFECTS DOES IFT HAVE ON THE BODY?

Interferential therapy is frequently utilized, but the physiotherapist must know how to apply it appropriately. Interferential Therapy's Effects include:

 

     Inflammation and pain are reduced.

     Blood Circulation is enhanced.

     Vasodilation is induced by this substance.

     Removes garbage from the region in question.

     The metabolic rate is increased.

     Blood pressure is lowered.

     Treats ligamentous lesions that have been present for a long time.

     Hematoma and edema are both treated with this product.

     Joint mobility is improved.

     It stimulates the muscles more.

     Muscle mobility is re-established.

 

 

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY AT PHYSIO HEALTH PLUS?

 

Physiotherapy is a field of medicine that focuses on joint and muscle movement and discomfort. Hands, legs, shoulders, thighs, and back joint pain are all addressed. There are numerous treatments for treating such aches, one of which is physiotherapy using the IFT machine.

 

You may be asking what the IFT Machine deems to be a part of the overall treatment. Parts of it are included below.

 

     Stretching exercises for muscular injuries

     Stiff joints should be moved around.

     To support the joints, strengthen muscular groups.

     Your physiotherapist will make the appropriate recommendations. Stiff muscles, in particular, are difficult to deal with, therefore you should do your exercises under the supervision of a specialist.

 

 

IS THERE ANY CONTRAINDICATION:

IFT is said to be a pain-relieving therapy with few adverse effects. In this case, the patient had symptoms that were consistent with an opioid overdose or adverse effect.

 

     In Pregnancy treatment over the uterus should not be done.

     Cardiac disease- no treatment over the heart,

     cervical ganglia or vagus nerve

     BP- avoid lower cervical

      Acute inflammation edema, hemorrhage, when using suction cups

      Patienten has  Hypersensitivity or fear of electric treatment

     Patients who are unable to understand the treatment or what is required of them.

 

 

Interferential currents are regularly used physiotherapy methods for pain management, the ad was utilized to treat a patient with significant shoulder discomfort. IFT in Gurgaon has physiotherapists who are experts in the cases that are treated by IFT and tretreatint Injuries (IFT) Pain in the Knees, injuries caused by spot, CSC CTS carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) after surgery, and Injuries to the spine, neck, and shoulder. Physio health plus aim is to treat the pain of the patients with all possible means. Visit our clinic for a better experience!
