About Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
To help control both chronic and acute (short-term) pain. TENS uses two methods to provide pain relief, Gate Control and Endorphin Production. Since the same nerve cannot carry a pain impulse and a non-pain impulse simultaneously, the stronger, non-pain impulse over rides the pain signal, this is known as “Gate Control." TENS stimulation also encourages the production and release of greater amounts of endorphin, which interacts with pain receptors, much as a narcotic does, but without the detrimental side effects. TENS is very effective in blocking pain and is used to treat painful conditions in the spine, joints, and muscles.
