Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, abbreviated as TENS, is one of the most common types of electrotherapy used widely for pain relief and treatment of various areas of the body. The TENS device generates electrical impulses that are transmitted through the skin into the body, specifically targeting problem areas.
TENS therapy has pain-relieving effects that help alleviate or even eliminate pain. The electrical impulses stimulate the nerves, which transmit pain signals to the brain. The impulses generated by the TENS device block or reduce these messages, thereby decreasing the sensation of pain.
Another advantage of TENS therapy is that it improves blood circulation in the treated areas. The electrical impulses stimulate blood flow, supplying tissues with oxygen and nutrients. This process promotes healing and regeneration.
TENS therapy can be applied flexibly for both chronic and acute pain conditions.
