What is TENS unit

TENS is the abbreviation for "Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation". The electrical microcurrents of TENS are adjusted to send stimulating pulses over the surface of the skin and into nerve endings. Those pulses help to decrease pain by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain. They also help stimulate production of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. Common uses for TENS: back and neck syndromes, RSD (or "complex regional pain syndrome"), arthritis, shoulder syndromes, neuropathies, and other acute and chronic pain.
Electrical stimulation for the treatment of muscle aches and pains has long been used by physiotherapists. Now, you are able to treat yourself at home using the latest in digital TENS units that are completely safe, with the approval of the FDA and CE.
Note: EMS stands for "Electrical Muscle Stimulation", a related technology but designed to cause muscle contractions. For more on EMS, TENS, or other stimulation such as Galvanic or Interferential, see our Electrotherapy section in the left menu.
