Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive physiotherapy technique that uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain by stimulating sensory nerves. The electrical impulses generated by the TENS unit interfere with pain signals travelling to the brain, effectively reducing discomfort. TENS promotes the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, further alleviating pain. This therapy is commonly used for conditions such as chronic back pain, arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and post-surgical discomfort.
TENS therapy is highly adaptable, with adjustable intensity, pulse frequency, and duration to suit individual patient needs. It is particularly beneficial for patients seeking drug-free pain relief without side effects. The electrodes are placed directly on the skin over the painful area, and the electrical impulses create a tingling sensation, which helps distract the brain from pain perception. Sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the severity of the condition. Regular use of TENS can improve mobility, reduce muscle stiffness, and enhance overall quality of life. Since it is a non-invasive and safe technique, it is widely used for both acute and chronic pain management.
