Back Pain – Electrode Placement

Low Back Pain – Electrotherapy for Pain Reduction

What is the best size electrode for Interferential therapy? A larger electrode often works better on chronic pain.

Apply your electrodes in a criss cross pattern. Form a large X, right over the painful area. The soothing electric current will cover the painful spot.

It’s important to place the electrodes over muscle or fat. Avoid placing electrodes over a bony area. Muscle and fat provide a more conductive pathway for the mild electric current. This provides the best pain relief experience.

MedFaxx, Inc. has my highest recommendation. I have never experienced such superb customer service. They are extremely patient centered and go to great lengths to help relieve your pain. I was able to trial the INFREX for a month. Not only that, Bob Johnson spent time on the phone with me answering additional questions, explaining the electrophysiology of the unit and latest research. I am in the health care industry myself and can tell you that no where will you find a group so caring and committed to pain relief. My thanks also goes out to linda.

Electrotherapy is a good solution for back pain relief. However,I would also suggest that you consider a visit to a local chiropractor. They can offer you pain relief using specific chiropractic techniques that involve hands-on manipulation of the body and thus helping the body to heal itself. You will be surprised what a chiropractor can do for you.

As a PT who issues these units I know how important electrode placment is for IFC. It’s not the same as TENS and electrode placement is very important. Great video.
