TENS Therapy

A form of acupuncture for those who have fear of needles

About Tens Therapy

Electrodes are placed on the skin, either directly over the painful area or more commonly, at key points along the nerve pathway. A small, battery-powered generator emits a milli-amp (one thousandth of an ampere) of electricity through lead wires to the electrodes.

Tens Therapy Benefits

People use TENS to relieve pain for several different types of illnesses and conditions. They use it most often to treat muscle, joint, or bone problems that occur with illnesses such as osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia, or for conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, or bursitis. People have also used TENS to treat sudden (acute) pain, such as labor pain, and long-lasting (chronic) pain, such as cancer pain.

What to Expect

One of the most compelling reasons for prescribing TENS for pain relief is that this therapy has few side effects. TENS is non-addictive, causes no drowsiness, and can be used indefinitely without the problems associated with prolonged drug use.
