Tens is an abbreviation for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation which dates back as far as 2500BC in Egypt where they used electric eels to treat pain
Today TENS is a therapeutic, drug free, safe and highly practical pain relief system that is effective on both acute and chronic pain.
TENS is used to reduce the symptoms of pain and not treat the cause of pains
TENS works by stimulating the bodies own natural defences against pain by the unit transmitting a gentle stimulus through the skin. The stimulus causes the release of endorphins.
TENS is particularly relevant to long term suffers of chronic pain conditions such as back pain, arthritis, joint pain and other muscular pain.
