Interferential Current Therapy (ICT)

Dr. Pete Lazarnick (Dr. Pete) offers Interferential Current Therapy (ICT) to patients at our office in Carrollton, GA. ICT is a form of microcurrent therapy. It’s an effective method for treating pain and kickstarting the healing process. It is a deeper and more successful form of electrical stimulation.


 


At your treatment consultation, Dr. Pete Lazarnick (Dr. Pete) will place electrodes onto your skin. They are mainly situated around the injured area. The interferential current is started, transmitting electrical impulses to the electrodes. These are then absorbed by your skin. This is felt by your underlying tissue and nerves. The impulses are not painful, described as a prickle on the skin. Your body reacts to these impulses by starting your own natural healing.


 


ICT is successful in treating circulatory and muscle disorders. It’s also used for stiff joints, joint injuries, edema, inflammation, and muscle spasms. There are many advantages to ICT. It is a safe way to eliminate the pain you’re experiencing. A decrease in swelling and inflammation have also been found. It can help restore lost movement and improve your range of motion.
