Interferential Stimulation
This section describes how Interferential Stimulations works, how it feels and benefits of
therapy.
How it Works
Interferential Stimulation uses two medium frequency currents which are applied to the
patient simultaneously using two pairs of electrodes. The electrodes are placed on the
patient diagonally around the area to be treated. One pair of electrodes is at a fixed
frequency of 4000Hz while the other pair of electrodes is variable, between 4001Hz and
4150Hz. At the point where the two currents cross a beat, or interference frequency
results which is the difference of the two currents (1-150Hz). Since medium frequencies
encounter little skin resistance they penetrate deep into the soft tissue and bone to the
affected area. This causes the body to secrete endorphins and other natural pain killers
to help relieve pain. This type of therapy may be used to provide symptomatic relief and
management of chronic pain, and/or as an adjunctive treatment for the management of
post-surgical and post-traumatic pain. Interferential Stimulation should not be confused
with other forms of neuro-stimulators such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation (TENS), Neuromuscular Stimulation (NMS), or High-Voltage Galvanic
Stimulation (HVGS).
How it Feels
Most patients find Interferential Therapy to be extremely beneficial and describe the
treatment as a faint "pins and needles" sensation.
Benefits
Interferential Therapy provides:
Symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain and/or
An adjunctive treatment for the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain

Neuromuscular Stimulation
This section describes how Neuromuscular Stimulations works, how it feels and benefits of
therapy.
How it Works
Neuromuscular Stimulation uses two medium frequency currents which are applied to
the patient simultaneously using two pairs of electrodes. The electrodes are placed on
the patient diagonally around the area to be treated. One pair of electrodes is at a fixed
frequency of 4000Hz. The other pair of electrodes is at a fixed frequency of 4048Hz. At
the point where the two currents cross a beat, or interference frequency, results at 48Hz.
A sweep of amplitude then causes the treated muscle to contract and relax during the
course of treatment.
How it Feels
Most patients find Neuromuscular Stimulation to be extremely beneficial and describe
the treatment as a faint "pins and needles" sensation with the added sensation of
muscle contraction and relaxation.
Benefits
Neuromuscular Stimulation:
Re-educates muscle
Promotes muscle tone (prevents disuse atrophy)
Maintains or increases range of motion
Relaxes muscle spasms
Increases local blood circulation
Provides immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous
thrombosis
