At Namo Multispecialty Hospital, we are committed to providing the latest and most effective treatments for pain management. Among the advanced therapies we offer are Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Interferential Therapy (IFT). These cutting-edge treatments use electrical stimulation to alleviate pain and improve the quality of life for our patients.
What is TENS?
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive method that utilizes low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain. Electrodes are placed on the skin near the source of pain, and gentle electrical impulses are sent through the nerves. These impulses can block pain signals from reaching the brain and promote the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. TENS is commonly used for conditions such as:
What is IFT?
Interferential Therapy (IFT) is another form of electrical stimulation, but it operates at a higher frequency compared to TENS. IFT involves the intersection of two electrical currents within the body, creating a deeper and more effective stimulation. This therapy is particularly beneficial for:
How Do TENS and IFT Work?
Both TENS and IFT work by disrupting the pain signals transmitted to the brain. While TENS primarily affects the surface nerves, IFT penetrates deeper tissues, providing a more intensive treatment. The use of electrical currents also helps increase blood flow to the affected areas, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
