What is it?
The Dual Channel Pain Relief Device ACRL-3001
is a two output channel TENS machine and is highly
effective in relieving pain. TENS is now regularly
recommended by doctors, physiotherapists and
pharmacists throughout the world.
HOW TENS WORKS FOR PAIN RELIEF
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
is a noninvasive, drug-free method of controlling
pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent
through the skin to the nerves to modify pain
perception. TENS does not cure any physiological
problem. It only helps control the pain. TENS does
not work for everyone. However, in most patients,
it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain,
allowing for a return to normal activity.
How TENS works?
Scientific theory suggests that electrical stimulation
therapy may work in several ways:
■
The gentle electrical pulses move through the
skin to nearby nerves to block the pain message
from the source of pain from ever reaching
the brain.
■
The gentle electrical pulses increase the
production of endorphins, the body’s natural
pain killer.
