IFT Mode
Deep Tissue Healing
Two medium-frequency currents intersect in tissue, creating a low-frequency beat deep within the target area — overcoming skin resistance that blocks superficial currents.

IFT (Interferential Therapy) and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) are clinically proven electrotherapy modalities that manage pain without drugs or surgery. IFT uses medium-frequency currents that penetrate deep into tissues to reduce inflammation and edema. TENS targets sensory nerves to block pain signals and stimulate endorphin release. Our combination unit delivers both simultaneously in a single 20-minute session.
Two medium-frequency currents intersect in tissue, creating a low-frequency beat deep within the target area — overcoming skin resistance that blocks superficial currents.
Pulsed currents stimulate large-diameter sensory nerves, closing the pain gate at the spinal cord and triggering endorphin release for natural analgesia.
Our clinical unit runs IFT and TENS simultaneously — deep tissue healing plus immediate pain blocking — in one efficient session.
No NSAID gastric risks, no opioid dependency, no drowsiness. Electrotherapy treats pain at its source without systemic medication side effects.

IFT penetrates deep into arthritic joints, reducing synovial inflammation and improving mobility. TENS provides immediate pain relief during flare-ups.
IFT reaches deep paraspinal muscles and ligaments to reduce inflammation. TENS blocks pain signals, breaking the chronic pain cycle.
IFT reduces acute edema and inflammation in injured tissues. TENS controls pain without masking injury severity — allowing safe early mobilization.
After joint replacement or arthroscopy, IFT reduces post-operative edema while TENS controls incisional and deep tissue pain — reducing opioid needs.
TENS endorphin release provides sustained pain relief for widespread pain conditions. IFT addresses localized tender points and muscle spasm.
IFT beat frequency stimulates muscle pumping and lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling in acute injuries and chronic venous conditions.
Ideal for patients seeking drug-free pain relief, edema reduction, and muscle relaxation without invasive procedures.
If you have been managing arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic back pain with medication alone, IFT/TENS offers a non-pharmacological alternative that treats pain at its neurological and tissue source.
Recent sprains, strains, and sports injuries benefit from IFT's deep tissue anti-inflammatory effect and TENS's immediate pain blocking — allowing earlier mobilization.
After orthopedic surgery, IFT reduces swelling and TENS controls incisional and deep tissue pain — reducing reliance on opioid painkillers during recovery.
For patients who cannot tolerate NSAIDs or have kidney, gastric, or cardiovascular concerns, electrotherapy provides safe, effective relief with no drug interactions.
IFT delivers two medium-frequency currents (typically 4 kHz) that intersect in the tissue, creating a low-frequency "beat" frequency (0–150 Hz) deep within the target area. This overcomes skin resistance that blocks low-frequency currents. TENS uses pulsed currents (1–150 Hz) to stimulate sensory nerves for pain relief.
IFT is preferred for deep tissue conditions (lumbar disc pain, deep joint arthritis, chronic edema) because its medium-frequency carrier penetrates 5–10 cm. TENS is ideal for superficial nerve pain, acute injury analgesia, and endorphin-mediated chronic pain relief. Our combination unit runs both simultaneously — IFT for deep tissue healing, TENS for immediate pain blocking — in a single 20-minute session.
IFT's 4 kHz carrier frequency penetrates skin and subcutaneous fat to reach deep muscles, joints, and ligaments.
TENS stimulates large-diameter A-beta fibers, closing the pain gate at the spinal cord dorsal horn.
Low-frequency TENS (2–10 Hz) triggers beta-endorphin release from the pituitary and hypothalamus.
IFT beat frequency stimulates muscle pumping and lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling in acute and chronic edema.
IFT causes rhythmic muscle contraction and relaxation, breaking the pain-spasm cycle.
DakshinRehab in Moosapet, Hyderabad offers clinical-grade IFT and TENS electrotherapy as part of comprehensive rehabilitation. No hospital referral needed — walk in for assessment and same-day treatment.
“Pain is a signal, not a sentence. IFT treats the tissue generating the signal. TENS blocks the signal from reaching the brain. Together, they give the body a chance to heal in peace.”— Dr. Swapnagandhi, Human Movement Specialist, Physiotherapist

How clinical electrotherapy compares to conventional pain management approaches
NSAIDs and opioids mask symptoms and carry risks of gastric bleeding, kidney damage, and dependency. IFT/TENS treats the tissue and nerve pathways directly — no systemic side effects, no addiction risk.
Many chronic pain conditions are managed surgically when conservative options fail. IFT/TENS provides a proven non-surgical pathway that reduces inflammation and pain while preserving natural anatomy.
Consumer TENS units are single-channel, low-power, and lack IFT capability. Our clinical combination unit delivers deeper penetration, multiple waveforms, and simultaneous dual-modality treatment supervised by physiotherapists.
