What is TENS?

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It's a non-invasive, drug free method of pain relief and muscle stimulation. TENS units work by sending low-voltage electrical currents through the skin to stimulate the nerves and provide relief from a variety of conditions.

How Does TENS Work?

The TENS unit generates small electrical impulses that are delivered through electrodes placed on the skin. These impulses travel through the nerves and help to block pain signals from reaching the brain. Additionally, TENS may trigger the production of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, providing a dual-action approach to pain relief.

What Conditions Can TENS Help With?

TENS is a versatile tool that can assist in managing various types of pain and discomfort, including but not limited to:

Chronic Pain: TENS can be used for persistent pain conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia.

Post-Operative Pain: TENS can be used post-surgery to aid in pain management and promote faster recovery.
