Is using an interferential stem unit several times a day to treat pain safe?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: These units can release natural endorphins and help relax muscles. Recommendations are at least 30 minutes three times a day as tolerated. If you can build up to longer or more frequent uses, great! just monitor changes or worsening symptoms.

Interferential : Is a low frequency stimulation of muscle and nerves that help relieve muscle spasm, nerve pain, improve blood flow. It's a safe procedure and would not cause any harmful effects in our body. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/interferential_therapy.
