TENS and Pain
TENS, which means "Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation"
is one of them. The stimulation of nerves is via
electrodes applied to the skin. The TENS device is a small, handy
portable
device.
TENS, designed for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain. TENS is a safe non-invasive drug-free method of pain management. "Transcutaneous" means across the skin. It relieves pain by sending tiny electrical impulses through electrodes placed on or near the area of pain or pressure point to underlying nerve fibers.
TENS is a therefore a simple and easy by the patients themselves to carry out treatment. The patient is therefore less dependent on the therapist and can itself at any time of day self-treat if necessary.
