What is TENS Therapy?

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to alleviate pain through the application of low-frequency electrical currents. This therapy utilizes a small, battery-operated device that delivers electrical impulses via electrodes placed on the skin. These impulses help to stimulate nerves and muscles, which can aid in pain relief and muscle relaxation.

How Does TENS Therapy Work?

The TENS unit works by sending electrical impulses through the skin to the underlying nerves. These impulses interfere with the nerve signals that transmit pain to the brain, effectively reducing the sensation of pain. Additionally, TENS can stimulate the production of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, further enhancing pain relief and promoting healing.

Benefits of TENS Therapy

• Pain Relief: Effective in managing various types of pain, including chronic pain, acute injuries, and postoperative discomfort.
• Non-Invasive: TENS therapy is a drug-free approach, making it a safe option for those looking to avoid medication or surgery.
• Muscle Relaxation: Helps to ease muscle tension and promote relaxation, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing muscle spasms or stiffness.
• Enhanced Recovery: By improving circulation and reducing pain, TENS therapy can aid in a quicker and more comfortable recovery process.
