Why the Fuss Over Interferential Therapy and What is it All About?

[amymelissa]

Now, in the twenty-first century, we seem to consider My Back Pain Coach Review  ourselves an educated society free from witch hunts and false labeling. There were as many if not more religious sites spewing fear about "new age" therapies INCLUDING the licensed physician categories that are subject to board examinations and yearly re-credentialing, the same as medical doctors.

It made me feel like I was in the Dark Ages. Under The Spanish Inquisition. Physical therapies for back pain include chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, core muscle training, good stretching exercises, and other related common sense treatments. Effective pain relief using a tens or an interferential unit only happens when the electrodes are placed to inundate the painful area with a pleasant, tingling, massaging type stimulus.

The stimulus is creating nerve firings of NON PAIN FIBERS, sensory fibers, which makes those sensory nerves overpower the PAIN NERVES ( C-FIBERS), which are transmitting the pain stimulus. There is no magic, it's simply a process of understanding what is the purpose of placing the tens electrodes, generally self adhering reusable electrodes, in the proper place.

Unlike acupuncture where the needle is very small, a tens or interferential electrode has a much larger stimulation area and specificity of placement is not as critical. Needles in acupuncture often are intended to interrupt an electrical energy pain path, whereas electrical stimulation is intended to be offensive and invade the area thusly interrupting and altering the electrical energy. The surface of an electrode may be 2 inch x 2 inch or 4 square inches of surface area per electrode equaling a total of 8 sq. inches, where the acupuncture needles surface is that of the needle itself times the depth the needle is inserted.
