Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
What does TENS stand for?

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, and has successfully been used for many years by health-care professionals worldwide (including doctors, physiotherapists, Chiropractors and hospitals here in Australia) for many years.

Is the TENS safe to use?

Yes. TENS therapy has been used for decades and is a safe, non-invasive and drug-free method of pain relief. However, TENS machines are not suitable and should not be used if you suffer from epilepsy, pregnant women during the months of pregnancy "but can be used during child birth to reduce back pain" or people with a heart pacemakers.

The electrodes should never be placed over the front of the neck as this can cause problems with blood pressure.

How does it work?

An electrical pulse stimulates the underlying nerve fibres via self-adhesive electrodes placed directly on the skin. The human brain registers this stimulation and floods the area with Endorphins - the body's natural pain relief system.

This disrupts the signal from the pain point to the brain, effectively reducing the sensation of pain.

The process also stimulates circulation and oxygenates blood flow to the stimulated area resulting in faster recovery.

How much pain relief will I get?

The degree of pain relief does vary from patient to patient. Please read our Testimonials for further information.

Does the machine come with instructions?

Yes, your quality TENS machine comes complete with detailed instructions. As well as these, you can find detailed instructions on this web site here.

And, of course, our friendly staff are just a phone call (or email) away for any further questions you may have.

Can I get a refund from my health fund?

Yes. Some health funds rebate up to 100% of the purchase price. But we always recommend that you check with your health fund prior to purchase as some funds only pay on certain levels of cover.

Where can I purchase more electrodes
You can purchase them from the web site or if you feel that you would rather do it over the phone you can call me on 0409261624 and I send the pads postage free.
