Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a therapy used to relieve pain by delivering small electrical pulses through the skin via electrodes. These pulses help interrupt pain signals sent to the brain, promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. TENS is non-invasive and can be used for various conditions, including chronic pain, arthritis, and muscle tension. The device is typically portable and easy to use, allowing individuals to manage their pain at home or on the go safely. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional before starting TENS for proper guidance and treatment.
