What is TENS Therapy and How Can it Help You?

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It is a non-invasive, drug-free method of pain relief that involves sending low-voltage electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin. These impulses work to alleviate pain by either blocking pain signals from reaching the brain or by stimulating the body's natural production of endorphins, which are natural painkillers.

Here's a list of conditions where TENS therapy is often found to be effective:

• Back and Neck Pain: This is one of the most common applications, including pain from disc problems, sciatica, or general muscle soreness.
• Arthritis: TENS can help relieve pain associated with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in joints like the hands, shoulders, and knees.
• Fibromyalgia: This chronic condition characterized by widespread pain and tenderness can often see pain relief with TENS.
• Neuropathic Pain: Pain resulting from nerve damage or disease, such as diabetic neuropathy, chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS), or nerve pain due to spinal cord injury, can be managed with TENS.
• Sports Injuries: For sprains, strains, and other acute soft tissue injuries, TENS can help with pain relief and recovery.
• Post-operative Pain: TENS can be used after various surgeries (e.g., joint replacements, cardiac procedures) to help reduce post-operative pain and potentially decrease the need for strong pain medications.
• Endometriosis: This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain, and TENS may offer some relief.
• Bursitis and Tendinitis: These inflammatory conditions of the joints and tendons can benefit from TENS for pain management.
