TENS Units
A Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) unit is a small, battery-powered device that can help relieve pain for a short time. It sends mild electrical currents through electrodes that are placed on the skin near the painful area. Experts think that a TENS unit helps with pain control in two main ways: Gate Control Theory says that the electrical signals from the TENS unit speed up the nerves and get to the brain faster than pain signals. People often say that this feeling, which is often described as tingling or buzzing, "closes the gate" on the pain signals, stopping them from getting to the brain and making you feel less pain. Endorphin Release: TENS may make the body release its own natural painkillers, called endorphins, especially when used with low-frequency, high-intensity settings. Endorphins work with opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to relieve pain. UUsing a TENS unit to relieve pain offers the following benefits: Not invasive and drug-free: This method of relieving pain is fairly safe and doesn't involve taking any drugs. TENS units are small, portable, and easy to use. They can be used at home or while doing everyday tasks. Used for Many Conditions: People often use it to treat both short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) pain from conditions such as: Pain in the back and neck. Arthritis. Injuries from sports Fibromyalgia Pain in the nerves (neuropathy) Pain during labor TENS can help many people, but the amount and length of pain relief can be different for each person. Before using a TENS unit, consult a doctor or physical therapist to ensure it's appropriate for your condition and to get setup and placement advice.
