How does TENS work?

Scientific theory suggests that electrical 

stimulation therapy may work in several ways:

The gentle electrical pulses 

block

 the 

"

pain 

message

"

 

from

 the nerves 

f

rom reaching the 

brain.

 

The gentle electrical pulses

 induce an 

increase

 

in the productions of endorphins, the body’s 
natural pain killer.

What is TENS?

Stimulation. It is a noninvasive, drug-free method

managing

 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 

to manage
