Interferential Current Therapy
Targeted pain relief. Faster healing. Non-invasive care.
Dr. Marie de Stefan brings over 30 years of experience in chiropractic and rehabilitative care to help patients find relief from pain and inflammation through advanced, non-invasive treatments, including interferential current therapy (IFC therapy).
This gentle, drug-free therapy uses low-frequency electrical currents to stimulate deep muscle tissues and accelerate healing, making it an ideal option for those recovering from injuries, experiencing chronic pain, or managing muscle spasms.
What Is interferential current therapy?
Interferential electrical stimulation, sometimes called interferential current therapy, uses two medium-frequency electrical currents that intersect beneath the skin. This creates a low-frequency stimulation that penetrates deeply into soft tissue and muscle without causing discomfort at the surface level.
Unlike traditional electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), IFC is able to reach deeper tissues with less resistance, making it particularly effective for:
Reducing pain and inflammation
Enhancing circulation
Improving range of motion
Relaxing muscle spasms
Accelerating soft tissue healing
How it works
During an IFC therapy session, electrodes are gently placed on the skin over the area of concern. The intersecting electrical currents target the affected tissues, promoting blood flow, reducing swelling, and stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle tingling or pulsing. The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and often combined with other chiropractic therapies to enhance results.
Complementary care that works
Electrical stimulation is often used alongside other therapies such as massage, stretching, and spinal adjustments. This combination helps reduce muscular tension, improve alignment, and support overall healing, especially when dealing with stubborn or recurring pain.
Why Dr. de Stefan recommends IFC therapy
With decades of clinical experience, Dr. Marie de Stefan incorporates electrical stimulation therapy into care plans when appropriate, especially for patients with:
Acute or chronic back and neck pain
Post-surgical or post-injury muscle recovery
Joint pain, arthritis, or soft tissue inflammation
Sciatica or nerve-related pain
Sports injuries and overuse syndromes
By combining chiropractic adjustments with IFC therapy, Dr. de Stefan helps patients experience longer-lasting relief, faster recovery, and improved mobility.
