Description

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy is a non-invasive pain management technique widely used in physiotherapy and healthcare settings. TENS devices employ low-voltage electrical currents that are delivered through electrodes placed on the skin near the area of pain or discomfort. These electrical impulses stimulate the nerves, potentially interfering with the transmission of pain signals to the brain and promoting the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. TENS therapy is versatile and can be tailored to address different types of pain, including acute, chronic, musculoskeletal, and neuropathic pain. It is often used in the treatment of conditions such as back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and post-operative pain management. The therapy's non-invasive nature, adjustable settings, and the ability for patients to self-administer it make TENS a valuable tool for pain relief. While it doesn't provide a cure, TENS offers a drug-free, safe, and often effective means to manage pain and improve the quality of life for many individuals, either as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other pain management approaches.
