About MENS - Microcurrent Electrical Nerve Stimulation (Prod N8590)
Microcurrent electrical nerve stimulation (M.E.N.S) uses micro-amperage current as opposed to millamperage current which is found primarily in T.E.N.S. devices. Microamp current is 1/1000 of a milliamp current and is closer to our own body's natural healing current. Wheras TENS is used generally for relief of pain, MENS is thought to work more on a cellular level and aids in the healing process while relieving pain. It has been found that MENS can help increase levels of a chemical called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which promotes protien synthesis and healing in tissue cells.
