INTRODUCTION TO TENS
What is Pain?
Pain is the body’s warning system. Pain is important because it
signals an unusual condition in the body and alerts us before
additional damage or injury can occur. However, long-lasting,
persistent pain, often called chronic pain, once diagnosed
serves no apparent purpose. TENS is developed to help relieve
some types of chronic and acute pain.
How does TENS work?
TENS is a method of treating pain that is non-invasive and
non-narcotic.
The TENS device sends comfortable impulses through the skin
that stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In
many cases this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the
pain sensation you feel by masking the original pain message
sent to the brain.
It is also believed that TENS stimulation helps release endorphins
into the blood stream thereby further reducing pain.
TENS devices are clinically proven to be useful in pain management
for many patients. By reading this manual and carefully following
the treatment instructions given to you by your clinician, you
will attain the maximum benefit from your TENS device.
