How easy to use is TENS? TENS was designed to
relieve pain by sending gentle electrical impulses through the skin to the
nerves. This suppresses pain by blocking the pain signals before they reach the
brain. TENS sends these gentle impulses through lead wires that are connected to
electrodes. These electrodes are strategically placed at appropriate pain sights
on the body. Because there are many different kinds of pain, and each individual
is unique, pain relief varies from person to person. Some users experience pain
relief only while the TENS unit is turned on. For others, relief continues for a
length of time even after the unit is turned off. TENS is an excellent, non-drug alternative for chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, lower-back pain and arthritis. It is also useful in relieving acute pain associated with surgery, traumatic injury, and other conditions. Using a TENS is very easy. It is portable and may be clipped to a belt, shirt pocket, bra or other clothing.
What is the most effective way to use TENS? To achieve the best results of TENS therapy, it is important to remember that TENS merely activates the body's own pain-fighting mechanism. Placing electrodes directly over or around the painful area delivers pain-blocking current to the nerves leading to that area. Some healthcare professionals have found that placing the electrodes along acupuncture points is also effective. Also, it is good to vary the placement of the electrodes each treatment to avoid skin irritation.
