TENS – Transcutaneous Electric Neuro Stimulation
|
 |
This uses the principle that pain and pain impulses in the body can be dispersed through stimulation of the nervous system by an electrical current. This electrical current is either applied in impulses in short bursts, in waves or in a continuous stream. A pad is placed upon the site of the problematic area and the current passes through the skin to the nerve. This treatment is especially effective for conditions that require the reduction of pain particularly on the back or neck, specific examples include spine diseases, headaches and post-traumatic pain.
