What Is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation?

‍Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a pain management technique that uses low-voltage electrical currents delivered through electrodes on the skin. This non-invasive therapy helps control chronic and acute pain by interfering with pain signal transmission to the brain.

Why is TENS therapy useful?

• Drug-free pain relief: Reduces reliance on pain medications.
• Self-administered: Can be used at home after training.
• Versatile application: Treats various types of pain.

Common uses for TENS

• Chronic back pain management.
• Arthritis pain relief.
• Post-surgical pain control.
