TENS Therapy with TENS Machines

TENS - Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation - Tens Machines

Tens machines are electrotherapy devices for pain relief. Tens machines are used for many years successfully by many people to treat pain. 

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) has been designed to stimulate sensory nerve endings in order to decrease perception of pain. The electric stimulus emited by a tens machine blocks pain signals that travel from peripheries along the nerves to the central nervous system. Additionally, Tens machine stimulation of the nerve fibres with mild electrical impulses can modify pre-existing sensations and change our perception of discomfort and pain.

The electric stimulus emited by tens machines also stimulates production of endorphins. Endorphins are naturally produced chemical substances that change sensory perception and normalize sympathetic function. Endorphins are commonly known for inducing a feeling of wellness.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) with tens machines does not cure physiological conditions. TENS therapy with Tens machines merely helps to control the perception of pain by stimulating sensory nerve endings. The stimulation blocks the pain signals from reaching the brain.

Tens machines stimulation is characterised by biphasic current and user selectable pulse width and pulse rate.

TENS machines are devices that perform TENS stimulation for pain relief. There are many brands of TENS machines available. TENS machines vary in complexity and in price.

TENS therapy and TENS machines play an important role in pain relief. TENS therapy is simple and easy to perform. Self adhesive skin electrodes placed on the skin deliver electric stimuli to the treated areas. Electric signals can be felt as a sensation on the skin and tissues below the skin. The TENS machine user can adjust the intensity of the signal felt to personal acceptability level and comfort required.

TENS therapy is effective and you can choose your TENS machine by personal preference and considering its specifications, features and benefits.
