Benefits of Interferential
Interferential
Reduce Pain
Promotes Healing
Stimulates Endorphin Release
Increases Range of Motion
Interferential therapy uses tiny electrical currents, that intersect below the surface of the skin. This promotes endorphin release in the body. Endorphins are the bodies, natural, built in pain killers.
Interferential therapy is especially helpful for:
- Ligament sprains
- Muscle tightness and pain
- Muscle strains
- Muscle spasms
- Chronic and acute pain
- Tissue Injuries
There are also a number of other conditions for which interferential current therapy could be useful. You should talk to your doctor about your specific situation.
Your practitioner may suggest interferential therapy in conjunction with other therapies such as, adjustments, stretching and exercising, physical therapy and other types of physiotherapy. Always follow your health care providers instructions for the best long term healing outcome.
Everyone is different and interferential therapy is not for everybody. There a a few conditions for which interferential treatment would be contraindicated. Having a cardiac pacemaker is one. Placing the electrodes over the abdomen of a pregnant women is another. Again check with your personal health professional for guidance on your unique situation.

Endorphin, opioid peptide releases using Interferential are associated with using in pulse range of 4,001 – 4,005 with visible motor twitching. Reason for the effective range ( 1- 5 pps) is the rate of conduction of the C-fibers is 1 – 5 m/sec so you have to allow what is called a “refractory period” of time in which the C fiber can repolarize.
C-fibers are the “pain fibers” and send message to brain to release more peptides for pain control. Where the phenomena is most present is in acute injuries such as trauma in auto accident, leg crushes, amputations etc and the patient might feel some pain temporarily but then the pain is over yet the traumatic tissue injuries are very severe. Part of survival technique so one stays awake and does not pass out from pain so we live and stay conscious in order to survive.
Generaly speaking interferential in an endorphin/enkelphalin release mode is not as effective as interferential therapy is with effective range in 4,050 to 4,150 pps.
