It uses a mid-frequency electrical signal to treat muscular spasms and strains.
The current produces a massaging effect over the affected area at periodic intervals, and
this stimulates the secretion of endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers, thus
relaxing strained muscles and promoting soft tissue healing. Its use is contraindicated if
the affected area has wounds, cuts or infections.
IFT is used in four clinical applications, to:
-
Relieve pain
-
Stimulate muscles
-
Increase local blood flow
-
Reduce edema
