PRINCIPLES OF TENS TREATMENT
- TENS, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, is a method of applying controlled, low-voltage electrical stimulation to large, myelinated peripheral nerve fibers via cutaneous electrodes for the purpose of modulating stimulus transmission and relieving pain. The tissues and cells of our bodies are always emitting electricity, which regulates the organs, nerves and muscle.
- TENS, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is to use both positive and negative poles of electricity conducted by electrodes and affixed to the surface skin to have electric currents stimulate the peripheral nerve fibers.
- TENS is believed to work by the following mechanism. The body has its own mechanism for suppressing pain. It does this by releasing non-addictive natural chemicals called endorphins in the brain which act as analgesics. TENS may activate this mechanism. The effectiveness of TENS treatment is not 100% for all pain syndromes. Experimentation with setting and electrode placement may be required for best results.
