Some electrical treatments really do work well to speed healing.
I had IFc electrostim and ultrasound for a painful tendon injury, and within 3 visits at PT the pain decreased dramatically.
IFc is typically used with an ice pack like you describe. So yes, done correctly you may see really wonderful results.
IFc is inferential current, which is occillating, unlike TENs. It is often used to speed soft tissue injury healing.
