TENS units work by delivering small electrical impulses through electrodes that have adhesive pads to attach them to a person’s skin.

These electrical impulses flood the nervous system, reducing its ability to transmit pain signals to the spinal cord and brain.

The same electrical impulses also stimulate the body to produce natural pain relievers called endorphins.

TENS units may help treat the following symptoms:

• period pain
• labor pain
• postoperative pain
• joint pain
• neck and back pain
• sports injuries
• multiple sclerosis
• fibromyalgia
• spinal cord injury

What is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy?

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a therapy that uses low voltage electrical current to provide pain relief. A TENS unit consists of a battery-powered device that delivers electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the surface of your skin. The electrodes are placed at or near nerves where the pain is located or at trigger points.

How does transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) work?

There are two theories about how transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) works. One theory is that the electric current stimulates nerve cells that block the transmission of pain signals, modifying your perception of pain. The other theory is that nerve stimulation raises the level of endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain chemical. The endorphins then block the perception of pain

The primary purpose of e-stim therapy is to simulate what happens in the body when you voluntarily contract and release a muscle many times in a row. This process strengthens and repairs tissue, particularly muscles which have become shortened, weakened, or atrophied due to injury or disease. Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a type of electrotherapy stimulates a muscle contraction using electrical impulses in order strengthen weak muscles.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a type of electrotherapy stimulates a muscle contraction using electrical impulses in order strengthen weak muscles, reduce swelling, relieve pain and help heal wounds. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)uses high intensities that cause excitation of peripheral nerves to produce a muscle contraction. The impulses are generated by a device and delivered through electrodes (pads that adhere to the skin) over the middle of the muscles that require stimulating. The impulses from EMS mimic the action potential (stimulus required to make the muscle contract) coming from the central nervous system. This causes the muscles to contract helping in pain relief.

When we use EMS?

There are several uses for EMS and NMES which include:

• Pain relief. EMS can be used at low levels to reduce the amount of pain you experience. This can be done by modulating the amount of pain signals to the brain or releasing natural pain called endorphins.
• Muscle contraction. EMS can be used at different intensities to stimulate a muscle or help maintain muscle tone. Examples of this type of therapy include: Following a stroke, EMS can be used to maintain some muscle tone in the shoulder to improve function and reduce pain. To treat urinary incontinence, EMS may be used to contract the pelvic floor muscles. Following surgery, EMS can be used to stimulate the muscles in the thigh to increase strength.

Benefits of EMS include:

• Decreasing pain
• Promote tissue healing
• Increase muscle strength
• Maintaining and regaining muscle activity

TENS units may help treat the following symptoms:

• period pain
• labor pain
• postoperative pain
• joint pain
• neck and back pain

What are the advantages or benefits of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy?

TENS is a non-invasive method of pain relief. It can be used alone or in addition to prescriptions or over-the-counter pain-relieving medications. The amount of medication may be able to be reduced in some patients who use TENS therapy. Do not stop taking or make any adjustments in your dose of medications without discussing it with your doctor first.

Another benefit of the TENS unit is that it is small and portable and therefore can be used at home or away, anytime pain relief is needed.
