T.E.N.S. - A clinically proven method to reduce pain using electrical stimulus.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive therapy indicated for the symptomatic relief from, and management of, chronic intractable pain and post-surgical and post-trauma acute pain. TENS has minimal side effects and is non-addictive. Adverse reactions associated with electrotherapy may include skin irritation beneath the electrodes.
Advantages of Integrating TENS in Pain Management:
Mechanism of TENS: Pain messages transmitted by the peripheral nervous system to the brain are elecro-chemical in nature. Controlling or overriding these nociceptive impulses can bring about significant pain relief to patients. With a TENS system, a portable stimulator generates a current which flows through leads to electrodes placed in specific locations on the patient’s skin. The low voltage current causes an electrical reaction in sensory and motor nerve fibers, overriding pain message transmission. The frequency and intensity of the stimulus are carefully controlled. TENS can also stimulate endorphin production.
