Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive therapy used to manage pain by sending electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate the nerves. This technique is commonly used to relieve chronic pain, muscle soreness, and post-surgical pain. TENS works by stimulating sensory nerves, which helps to block pain signals from reaching the brain.

During a TENS treatment, electrodes are placed on the skin near the pain source, and the device delivers electrical impulses. These impulses promote the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and help relax muscles. TENS is often used in conjunction with other therapies like physical therapy or manual therapy for more comprehensive pain management.

TENS is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment option for managing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall well-being.
