TENS

TENS therapy uses low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate nerves and reduce pain. It is commonly used in physiotherapy for chronic pain management, nerve disorders, and muscle relaxation. The device consists of electrode pads placed on the skin near the painful area. Electrical pulses interfere with pain signals sent to the brain, reducing discomfort. TENS also stimulates endorphin release, which acts as a natural painkiller. It is effective in conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, nerve pain, and post-surgical recovery. TENS settings can be adjusted for different pulse frequencies and intensities. It is a non-invasive, drug-free pain management technique with minimal side effects. Physiotherapists use TENS as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program. With regular use, TENS therapy improves function, reduces reliance on pain medication, and enhances quality of life.
