Interferential Therapy

At Revine Naturopathy, we use Interferential Therapy to help our patients manage pain and heal faster. This therapy is non-invasive, meaning it doesn’t require any surgery or needles. Instead, it uses gentle electrical currents that are sent through your body to help reduce pain, improve blood flow, and relax your muscles.

How Does Interferential Therapy Work?

During Interferential Therapy, small sticky pads called electrodes are placed on your skin near the area where you are feeling pain. These electrodes send low-frequency electrical currents into your body, which cross each other inside your tissues. When these currents meet, they create a helpful effect that goes deep into your muscles and tissues to provide relief.

The electrical currents from the therapy help by:

• Reducing Pain: The therapy helps block pain signals from reaching your brain, so you feel less discomfort.
• Improving Circulation: By increasing blood flow, the therapy brings more oxygen and nutrients to the area, helping your body heal faster.
• Relaxing Muscles: It soothes tight or sore muscles, making you feel more relaxed and comfortable.

What Can Interferential Therapy Help With?

At Revine Naturopathy, we use this therapy to treat various conditions like:

• Back Pain: Whether it’s from an injury or chronic issues, interferential therapy can help ease the pain in your back.
• Joint Pain: This therapy is great for treating pain in your knees, elbows, or other joints.
• Sports Injuries: Athletes who have muscle or joint injuries can benefit from this therapy for quicker recovery.

What to Expect During Your Session?

Here’s how a typical session works:

1. Placing Electrodes: The therapist places the small pads on your skin near the area where you’re experiencing pain.
2. Electrical Stimulation: You’ll feel a gentle tingling or pulsing sensation as the electrical currents are applied. It doesn’t hurt—most patients find it relaxing.
3. Therapy Duration: A session usually lasts around 15-30 minutes, and you can simply relax during the treatment.

Benefits of Interferential Therapy

1. Pain Relief: This therapy directly targets your pain, helping you feel better without the need for medication.
2. Deep Penetration: It reaches deeper layers of your muscles and tissues, providing a more effective treatment.
3. Customizable Treatment: We can adjust the strength and settings of the electrical currents to match your needs and comfort level.

At Revine Naturopathy, we incorporate Interferential Therapy as part of our holistic care approach. It’s a safe, comfortable, and natural way to manage pain, relax your muscles, and help your body heal faster, allowing you to return to your daily life with less discomfort.
