Understanding IFT in the Indian Context
Hyderabad’s fast-paced lifestyle leads to chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain. Interferential Therapy (IFT) delivers medium-frequency electrical currents that intersect within tissues, creating deep analgesia with minimal surface discomfort. It forms a crucial part of Ajuda Hospitals’ multimodal pain protocols, adhering to Indian Association of Physiotherapists guidelines.
IFT supports patients who want to limit medications, especially those with comorbidities like diabetes or hypertension. It enables smoother exercise sessions, quicker return to work, and better sleep—vital for IT professionals, homemakers, and caregivers across Telangana.
When to Consult Our IFT Specialists
⚠️ Seek immediate medical care for:
- ✓ Sudden numbness, paralysis, or bladder issues
- ✓ High fever, redness, or infection near the pain site
- ✓ Unexplained swelling with suspected DVT
For persistent pain, swelling, or stiffness that limits daily routines, schedule IFT to kickstart relief and prepare for active rehab.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Pain Profile & Function Check
We document intensity, triggers, and functional limitations using validated scales.
Safety Assessment
Skin inspection, sensation testing, and medical history ensure IFT suits you.
Custom Electrode Mapping
We position electrodes around the pain site to create therapeutic interference precisely where needed.
Ongoing Monitoring
Pain scores, swelling, and functional goals are tracked so we can dial frequency and intensity as you heal.
Treatment Pathways
IFT is embedded into integrated plans: acute injuries pair IFT with cryotherapy and taping; chronic cases combine it with manual therapy, Pilates-based strengthening, and ergonomic corrections. Neuropathic pain plans include nerve glides, vitamin support, and physician coordination.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
Sessions last 15-20 minutes. You may feel a pleasant tingling or deep massage effect. Many patients notice relief immediately, enabling more productive manual therapy and exercise. We prescribe home routines, posture cues, and tele reminders so improvements continue beyond the clinic.
Technology & Innovation
Ajuda deploys quadri-polar IFT consoles with vector scan technology, ensuring the therapeutic field moves gently to cover wider areas. Synchronised EMR logging lets any Ajuda branch replicate your successful settings if you relocate within Hyderabad.
Preventing Complications
Unmanaged pain leads to muscle guarding, sleep disruption, and reduced productivity. IFT restores comfort quickly, allowing rehabilitation to progress and reducing reliance on analgesics. Combined with education and ergonomic coaching, it prevents chronicity.
