Interferential Therapy as Part of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy

When someone experiences a herniated disc, they may suffer from a range of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasms, & radiculopathy—a condition where the pain radiates along the nerve pathways, often extending to the legs or arms. At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, we understand the pain that comes with a herniated disc & offer Interferential Therapy (IFT) as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

​

What is Interferential Therapy (IFT)?

IFT is a non-invasive physical therapy that uses low-frequency

electrical currents to relieve pain & support tissue repair. The

currents, known as interferential currents (IFC), help block pain

signals from reaching the brain. When combined with non-

surgical spinal decompression, IFT can be a powerful tool for

managing pain, reducing inflammation, & promoting healing in

patients with disc-related injuries.

 

How Interferential Therapy Helps

IFT works by reducing inflammation & promoting the healing of

soft tissues & nerves. This is particularly helpful for individuals

dealing with both acute & chronic pain. The low-frequency

electrical currents stimulate the muscles, reduce muscle spasms, & encourage better blood circulation. This, in turn, accelerates the healing process by improving tissue repair & reducing swelling.

​

Key Benefits of Interferential Therapy

IFT offers a range of benefits that make it an ideal option for treating herniated or slipped discs:

- Instant pain relief: The deep penetration of electrical currents provides quick relief from pain associated with disc injuries.

- Relaxation of muscles: Continuous muscle contraction during IFT sessions helps relax spasmodic muscles, improving blood flow & easing tension.

- Enhanced circulation: Better blood flow promotes faster healing of soft tissues, reducing swelling, bruising, & inflammation.

- Toxin elimination: The therapy helps the body flush out harmful substances from the injured areas, accelerating recovery.
