TENS (transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation) unit is adjustable and provides the right electric stimulation for your particular issue. The unit is placed in different areas of your body, depending on where you have the pain. The current then travels through your skin, stimulating specific nerve pathways. There is no need to worry about the electrical current because it is mild and will not shock. It will produce a mild tingling or massaging sensation. Clinically, TENS has been widely used for patients with pain. It is a very safe and non-invasive technique.
The TENS unit is suitable for both acute pain and chronic pain conditions such as:
- Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Cervical spondylosis
- Low back pain
- Myofascial pain syndromes
- Tendinitis/Bursitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Radiculopathy
- Peripheral nerve injuries
- Phantom limb pain
- Post-operative pain
- Spinal cord disorders
