Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a clinically recognized, non-invasive therapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain. Widely used in physiotherapy and pain management, TENS therapy helps patients manage chronic pain, muscle soreness, joint discomfort, or post-injury pain without the need for medications.
The treatment works by sending gentle electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin, which stimulate nerves and muscles. These impulses help block pain signals to the brain while promoting the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. TENS therapy is particularly suitable for patients who cannot take pain medications due to allergies, gastrointestinal issues, or other health concerns.
Safety is paramount in TENS therapy. Treatments should always be conducted or supervised by certified medical professionals to ensure correct electrode placement, appropriate intensity, and duration, avoiding any potential complications.
TENS is widely used to treat a variety of conditions including back pain, neck pain, arthritis, sciatica, and sports-related muscle injuries. Regular TENS therapy sessions, combined with medical advice, can improve mobility, reduce reliance on painkillers, and enhance overall quality of life.
