Both ultrasound and IFC are non-invasive modalities that can enhance the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions, facilitating pain relief, tissue healing, and functional recovery in patients.
Physiotherapists often employ ultrasound and Interferential Current (IFC) as part of their treatment approach. Ultrasound involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to target deep tissues and promote healing by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and accelerating tissue repair. It is commonly used for conditions like muscle strains, tendonitis, and joint stiffness. On the other hand, IFC utilizes low-frequency electrical currents to stimulate nerves and muscle contractions, relieving pain and improving circulation. This technique is beneficial for managing acute and chronic pain, muscle spasms, and improving range of motion.
