What is IFT?

IFT which stands for interferential therapy is one of the ways of offering electrotherapy for management for pain. The IFT treatment is often used for treating chronic, post-traumatic, and post-surgical pain. The IFT therapy has also gained prominence because of its pain-free, drug-free, and non-invasive way of healing. It has been observed that multiple treatments daily can offer improved results. Many people take IFT treatment at home on their own for pain reduction, medication, and edema. However, it must be done under medical supervision as it involves the use of electric currents.


The IFT is used for treating following pains:

Joint injuries
Tennis elbow
Back/ neck/ shoulder ailments or injuries
Knee pain
Sports injuries
Fibromyalgia
Post-surgical pain
Carpel tunnel syndrome
Edema/ inflammation

How does IFT therapy work?

Unlike TENS, which uses intermittent pulses for stimulating the surface nerves and blocking the pain signal, the IFT makes use of continuous stimulation administered deep in the affected tissue. The stimulation leads to blocking the pain signals and a decrease in inflammation as well as swelling. The IFT machine uses a 4000 Hz carrier wave to achieve deep penetration and overcomes skin impedance.

The whole line of treatment also includes some exercises along with IFT therapy. The exercises include:

Stretching injured muscles
Moving stiff joints
Strengthening muscle groups to support joints
The whole treatment will be decided by the physiotherapist based on the underlying issue.
