TENS therapy, also known as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, is a common treatment method used in physiotherapy to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It involves the use of a small electronic device that sends low-voltage electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin. These electrical signals help reduce pain by stimulating nerves and blocking pain messages from reaching the brain.
TENS therapy is widely used for treating different types of pain, including back pain, neck pain, arthritis, sports injuries, muscle spasms, and joint pain. Physiotherapists often recommend this therapy because it is non-invasive, safe, and generally free from serious side effects. The treatment can be performed in hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, or even at home under professional guidance.
The therapy works mainly in two ways. First, the electrical stimulation interferes with pain signals traveling to the brain, reducing the sensation of pain. Second, it encourages the body to release endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals. As a result, patients often feel relaxed and experience temporary pain relief after the session.
