A member asked:
I.f.c therapy done on my upper back yesterday after physiotherapy, how often can it be done? my back is a mess and hurts, this helped considerably!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Interferential current therapy: a typical treatment regimen involves 12 sessions, lasting between 10 and 15 minutes each. The absolute maximum length for an ifc treatment is half an hour. The therapist will likely book your treatments at least twice a week for effectiveness. Your pt & your doc can then determine whether a longer treatment regimen is indicated.
