Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) explained
TENS is widely used in the medical community, as it is a
clinically proven, safe and drug free method of pain relief. TENS consists of sending firm electrical pulses through pads placed on the skin to provide pain relief. It works in two distinct ways:
- Pain gate control, in that it blocks the pain signals going to the brain
- Endorphin release, whereby it increases the production and release of endorphins
reducing the pain sensation.

As a result, patient pain and discomfort is greatly reduced through the application of TENS.
