Interferential currents

Interferential currents act based on the principle of using interference of the two medium-frequency currents within the tissue, where one circuit has a constant frequency and the other has adjustable, fluctuating one.
The advantage of such approach is the smoother overcoming of the skin tissue resistance, good tolerance towards small sensorial and motoric stimulation, and inducing the effect of interference within the tissue layer.
It affects directly muscles, nerves, improves blood supply (hyperaemia) and nutrition of the tissue, all of which is caused by vasodilatation, analgesia and restoration of the tissue tone.
Depending on the pre-set frequency and its modulation one can achieve either effects of motoric stimulation/irritation (up to bringing the muscles into the so-called muscle gymnastics condition), or, on the contrary, achieve the decline of an increased muscle tone, or cause the more significant analgesic and spasmolytic effects, or oscillate between stimulating and mitigating effects, causing the resorption of oedemas and exudates.
Indications: diseases of locomotory apparatus
Counter-indications: cardio-stimulator, tumours, sensitivity defects, metal implants within current zone, pregnancy, eczema, bleeding states
The procedure has to be prescribed by a doctor, which should specify the location and necessary application parameters.
Duration: according to the type of disorder ca 12 - 20 minutes
