The IF-4000 offers true interferential! Interferential Units- helps control
pain and speeds the healing process by delivering small pulses of electrical current to an injury through
electrodes that pass current through the skin and stimulate underlying nerves producing a mild, tingling
sensation to provide relief from chronic and acute pain. Interferential is used for very localized areas
where deep current for pain control or increased circulation is needed.
How
does Interferential therapy differ from TENS?
Interferential differs from conventional Muscular
stimulation and TENS in that it delivers concentrated stimulation deep into the affected tissue.
Interferential exploits the interference of two separately generated sinusoidal currents applied to the body
simultaneously. It is a low frequency current treatment that uses two medium frequency currents which
interfere with each other to produce a beat frequency that the body recognizes as a low frequency energy
source. The range of this frequency is usually 1-250 Hz. The body itself produces low frequency currents
between 1 and 256 Hz. These currents are produced across the cell membranes by ionic exchange, and they will
vary depending upon the tissue involved. By using frequencies in this range, different systems within the
body can be stimulated.
