IFT Physiotherapy services 

IFT physiotherapy is an application of a wider concept known as Interferential Treatment. The method gets its name from the fact that it uses safe levels of electric current to interfere with the natural working and stimulate the tissues. This stimulation did knowingly as part of the IFT therapy, lead to multiple benefits like localized pain relief and an increase in the body’s healing rate.

 

The frequency and the levels of current being used during IFT treatment in physiotherapy are carefully controlled and varied by skilled physiotherapists. The process works by stimulating parasympathetic nerve fibers that lead to an increase in blood flow and the subsequent healing. The body’s self-healing process is triggered by this process, making sure that the effects last beyond the session of 15 minutes to 1 hour.

 

If you ever visit a physiotherapist to receive IFT physiotherapy for back pain, you will likely go through the following process – The physiotherapist will be using a device that has four electrodes and a regulator to control the current frequency and intensity. An electrode gel is first applied to the area identified for the IFT therapy. The electrodes are then placed on the affected area, above the gel, at right angles to each other.

 

Two different intensities of current are then passed via the electrodes with a frequency difference of nearly 100Hz. The current thus emitted passes through the skin and reaches the part causing the pain. The sensation produced by the current’s interference stimulates the tissues, increasing the blood flow and leading to the self-healing process kicking in. This is why IFT for back pain is well sought after as it is non-invasive and effective.

There are a number of problems that can be addressed and healed using IFT therapy in physiotherapy. Some of the most popular uses are to heal

 

  • Joint Stiffness
  • Edema
  • Muscle disorders
  • Internal Swelling
  • Inflammation

 

The symptoms for which a physiotherapist would generally recommend IFT therapy are

 

  • Joint Pains
  • Cumulative Trauma Disorders
  • Body Pain
  • Post orthopedic surgery pain

 

IFT treatment in physiotherapy is a non-invasive method to relieve from localized pain and has almost no side effects, making it largely sought after. So, how does IFT TENS physiotherapy actually work?

 

To put things in perspective, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) is slightly different from IFT. In IFT treatment, the frequency of the current is higher (approximately 4000 Hz) as compared to the frequency released by TENS for the same signal (approximately 5-160 Hz). This increase in frequency leads to deeper penetration of the electrical current causing more stimulation and lessen discomfort. Thus IFT TENS physiotherapy is much more impactful.

 

It needs to be remembered that IFT on its own may give you good results, however, it is even better when built into an overall fitness program. So, your physiotherapist may draw up a complete routine for you including but not limited to

 

  • Stretching exercises for muscles
  • Movement exercises for stiff joints
  • Muscle Strengthening exercises
  • Interferential Treatment

If one leads you to believe that IFT physiotherapy is better and more effective because of its special characteristics of interferential stimulation, then you should know that there is no research evidence to back this claim. The method is preferred simply because of its non-invasive nature and minimal discomfort to the patients.

 

The IFT therapy in physiotherapy works on the principle of peripheral nerve stimulation and is generally used for the treatment of any of the following

 

  • Relief from pain – localized and chronic
  • Stimulating the muscles
  • Improving the blood flow
  • Edema Reduction

It is important to understand that the whole premise of IFT physiotherapy for back pain or any other pain is based on the stimulation of nerves by the interferential current. Thus, the results will also be maximum for the problems directly related to these. For any other ailment, the result can only be an impact on these primary conditions.

 

Also equally important to note is the fact that the usage of a wide range of frequencies is less effective when compared to a smaller range of specific frequencies over a short span during the IFT treatment.

 

The most interesting part about IFT is that almost anyone above the age of 12 years is eligible to go for this treatment and benefit from the results. However, there are certain conditions under which it should be completely avoided

 

  • If you are pregnant as it is harmful to both you and your unborn child
  • If you are an athlete undergoing endurance training, but you can get it after completing your training
  • If you have a life-threatening disease and are under medication for the same
