How does TENS work?
Scientific theory suggests that electrical
stimulation therapy may work in several ways:
n
The gentle electrical pulses
block
the
"
pain
message
"
from
the nerves
f
rom reaching the
brain.
n
The gentle electrical pulses
induce an
increase
in the productions of endorphins, the body’s
natural pain killer.
