What is TENS?
Transcutaneous
Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a safe, non-invasive, drug free method of controlling
pain. It reduces pain by sending small electrical impulses through electrodes
that are placed on the skin to underlying nerve fibers to modify your pain perception.
Two popular theories help explain how TENS works: 1) The Gate Control Theory
suggests that the electrical stimulation of the nerve fibers close a segment
of the spinal cord, which blocks the pain signals from reaching the brain. 2)
The Endorphin Release Theory suggests that TENS stimulation reduces inflammation,
swelling and relaxes muscle fibers by releasing endorphins in the brain which
act like analgesics.
TENS is a safe,
non-addictive method of pain management which has virtually no side effects.
What is EMS?
Electrical Muscle
Stimulation (EMS) is the use of electrical stimulation on muscle groups to contract
and reeducate muscles. Some of the popular uses of EMS: Reeducate Muscles, Treat
Muscle Injuries, Increase Range of Motion, Prevent Muscle Atrophy, Increase
Circulation, Relax Muscle Spasms, and Improve Blood Circulation.
