Interferential Current Therapy
ICF
Our Vaughan rehabilitation clinic is pleased to offer interferential current therapy, which is proven and effective for pain relief and quicker recovery by letting your body heal itself.
How Does Interferential Current Therapy Work?
The electrodes are placed on the injured site and the device starts transmitting very weak electrical impulses through the skin. The body’s self-healing process starts when these impulses stimulate the nerves and tissue at the site.
- Safely reduces pain
- Reduces inflammation
- Reduces reliance on pain medication
- Effectively combats chronic pain
What Are The Benefits Of Interferential Current Therapy?
Interferential Current Therapy has been shown to help with conditions like joint injuries, body pain or people who have undergone or plan to have orthopedic surgery.
Especially in the post-op setting, Interferential Current Therapy has been well proven to reduce the number of complications commonly associated with orthopedic surgery.
Restoring and improving blood circulation is an important part of injury recovery, and it has been shown that IFC is a powerful tool in that respect.
