What is a TENS Unit and does it work ?
A TENS unit, short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, is a portable, battery-operated device utilized by many individuals to alleviate pain. This device functions by delivering mild electrical impulses through electrodes equipped with adhesive pads, which are affixed to the skin.
These electrical impulses inundate the nervous system, diminishing its capacity to transmit pain signals to the spinal cord and brain. Additionally, TENS units are known to induce the production of endorphins, the body's natural pain-relieving hormones, providing further relief.
TENS therapy is commonly employed to mitigate hyperalgesia, characterized by heightened sensitivity to pain, which may manifest anywhere in the body. While some TENS units are designated for professional use in medical facilities, others are designed for safe and convenient use at home.

Benefits of TENS Units
​
TENS offers a noninvasive approach to pain relief, potentially reducing reliance on addictive or side-effect-prone pain medications.
Compact and portable, TENS units are convenient for on-the-go pain management. Easily carried in a pocket or clipped onto a belt, they provide immediate access to pain relief throughout the day.
Effective for managing various types of pain including period pain, labor pain, postoperative pain, joint pain, and neck and back pain.
What is (TENS) Therapy Used to treat?
TENS therapy is employed or under investigation for alleviating both chronic (long-lasting) and acute (short-term) pain. It has shown promise in managing various conditions, including:
​
-
Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease.
-
Fibromyalgia: Characterized by widespread muscle, tendon, and joint pain, particularly along the spine.
-
Tendinitis: Inflammation or irritation of a tendon.
-
Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints.
-
Diabetic neuropathy: Nerve damage affecting connections between the brain, spinal cord, and the body.
-
Peripheral artery disease: Characterized by arterial hardening, impacting blood circulation throughout the body.
How does transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) work?
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy utilizes a gentle electrical current to alleviate pain. This therapy involves a TENS unit, a portable device powered by batteries, which emits electrical impulses through electrodes positioned on your skin's surface. These electrodes are strategically placed near nerves associated with the pain or at specific trigger points.
One hypothesis suggests that the electric current activates nerve cells, obstructing the transmission of pain signals and altering your pain perception. Another theory proposes that nerve stimulation prompts the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals, which subsequently inhibit the perception of pain.
