wi-TENS is a TENS stimulator. What is TENS?
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive, drug free method of controlling pain.
TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. TENS does
not cure any physiological problem; it only helps control the pain. TENS does not work for everyone; however,
in most patients it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity.
How does TENS work?
Scientific theory suggests that electrical stimulation therapy may work in several ways:
•
the gentle electrical pulses move through the skin to nearby nerves to block or shut out the pain message
from ever reaching the brain from the source of the pain;
•
the gentle electrical pulses increase the production of the body's natural pain killer, such as endorphins;
•
furthermore, it is thought that the electrical stimulation improves blood circulation as well. Muscles
contract and relax with the flow of the electrical stimulation. With repeated contracting and relaxing
action, the blood flows in and out and the blood circulation is improved.
Intended uses include the following:
•
temporary relief of pain associated with sore;
