Article - TENS Machine Used Widely

Tens machines – standing for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) – have long been used in medical facilities for the relief of pain. Tens machines have been used extensively by doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors and hospitals for the relief of chronic and acute pain with great success.

Tens machines work by an electronic pulse stimulating nerve fibres via self-adhesive electrodes places directly on the skin. Tens also works through a process called gating – this is where the stimulation of the tens machine blocks the messages to the brain telling the body it is experiencing pain.

Different Tens Pulses

When the Tens machine is set on a high pulse rate (90-130 Hz) it triggers the 'pain gate' to close. This is then thought to block a pain nerve pathway to the brain. This is the normal method of use.

When the Tens machine is set on a low pulse rate (2-5 Hz) it stimulates the body to generate its own pain easing chemicals (endorphins). This is the body’s natural pain relief.

Convenient Pain Relief With Tens

Tens machines are an effective and very convenient form of pain relief. The small size and simple to use set up makes pain relief accessible for everyone – even when undertaking everyday activities. Try a Tens machine today – you won’t be disappointed.
