    Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy as a medical treatment. In medicine, the term electrotherapy can apply to a variety of treatments, including the use of electrical devices such as deep brain stimulators for neurological disease.

    Interferential stimulation therapy, or IFC, uses electrodes with high- and medium-frequency that alternate currents to deeply penetrate tissue. The slightly different currents are superimposed to form what is known as interference, which blocks the transmission of pain messages to the brain and can result in relief for patients. This treatment uses a much higher frequency than other electrical stimulation therapies like TENS. That means IFC penetrates the skin much more easily and reaches greater depths than other electrotherapy alternatives. IFC is frequently used to treat issues like back, shoulder and arthritis pain.

     

    MAX-IF 1000 sends small comfortable elctrical impluses through your skin tnto the painful area causing a mild thigling sensation. the sensation works to prevent pain signals from reaching the brain. The MAX-IF 1000 has two channels, allowing it to operate one either one of two pairs of electrodes which allow a better focus and deeper tissue stimulation when compared to other types of electrical stimulation.
