Electrical Stimulation (TENS)
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy is a non-invasive pain relief technique that involves the use of low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate nerves in the affected area of the body. TENS therapy works by sending electrical pulses through the skin, which stimulate the nerves and block pain signals from reaching the brain. Neuromuscular stimulation (NMS) is a type of therapy that uses electrical impulses to stimulate and activate muscles. NMS is used for muscle strengthening and rehabilitation, pain relief, and to improve muscle function.

A TENS machine is a small, battery-operated device that has leads connected to sticky pads called electrodes. You attach the pads directly to your skin. When the machine is switched on, small electrical impulses are delivered to the affected area of your body, which you feel as a tingling sensation.
The electrical impulses can reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, which may help relieve pain and relax muscles. They may also stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers.
TENS may be able to help reduce pain and muscle spasms caused by a wide range of conditions including:
- Sports Injuries
- Joint Pain
- Arthritis
Electrostimulation can be a very effective way to help make your muscles work:
- With significant improvement of different muscular qualities
- Without cardio-vascular or mental fatigue
- With limited stress on the joints and tendons
TENS delivers electrical pulses through the skin to the cutaneous (surface) and afferent (deep) nerves to help control pain. Unlike drugs and topical ointments, TENS does not have any systemic side effects.
TENS helps provide pain relief in two ways. One is the gate control mechanism. When the body is injured, both pain and non-pain impulses are sent to the brain from the nervous system. The pulses travel through nerves in our skin to deeper nerves, and then to the spinal cord and brain. Along the path are many areas referred to as “gates”. These gates determine which impulses can continue to the brain. The gates help prevent the brain from receiving too much information too quickly. Since the same nerve cannot carry a pain and a non-pain impulse at the same time, the stronger, non-pain impulse from the TENS device helps “control the gate”.
The other mechanism of pain control is endorphin release. The TENS device can trigger the body’s natural pain killers, called endorphins. These chemicals interact with receptors, blocking the perception of pain. This is similar to the way the pharmaceutical drug, morphine, works, but without the side effects.
