What is TENS?

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), designed for symptomatic relief and management of chronic intractable pain, TENS is a non-invasive drug-free method of pain management.

Transcutaneous means across the skin. It relieves pain by sending tiny electrical impulses through electrodes placed on or near the area of pain or pressure point to underlying nerve fibers.

You can set the TENS machine for different wavelength frequencies, such as a steady flow or a burst of electrical current, and for intensity of electrical current. Your physical therapist or doctor usually determines these settings.

How Does TENS Work?

The theory of TENS suggests that there are two pain-relieving mechanisms. When TENS delivers steady mild electrical current, some people experience less pain. The electricity from the electrodes stimulate the nerves in an affected area and may block the pain signal traveling to the brain. If the pain signal does not get through to the brain, the pain is not perceived. This theory is often referred to as the `gate control` theory.
