TENS
TENS, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, is a therapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to alleviate pain. This technique involves the use of a small, battery-operated device that delivers electrical impulses to the nerve fibers through electrodes placed on the skin. By doing so, TENS can help reduce pain signals to the brain and stimulate the production of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. TENS is commonly used to manage various types of acute and chronic pain, such as back pain, arthritis, and neuropathic pain. It is considered a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free approach to pain management, often used as part of a multifaceted treatment plan prescribed by healthcare professionals.
