TENS Massager

Pain relief

The main advantage of using a TENS machine is that it provides pain relief. It works by sending electrical currents that travel through electrodes and into the skin. This stimulates the specific nerve pathways to produce a tingling sensation and activates a complex neuronal network to result in a reduction of pain.

The electrodes can be placed in many different areas on the body, including the back of the neck, the stomach, upper and lower back, shoulders, upper and lower thighs. Electrodes should never be placed on any part of the head, face, throat, directly on the backbone, and both sides of the chest or trunk.

Convenient

Another benefit of using a TENS machine is that it is portable and easy to use. All you need to do is simply place the pad on the muscle that needs stimulating, and the machine will do the rest of the work. You may have to adjust the settings to find the right intensity. A TENS machine is a small, portable and battery-operated device, which can be used virtually anywhere, anytime.

Natural massage

Many companies are starting to offer TENS units as massagers and pain relievers. With the different intensity levels and using a different pulse pattern, TENS units can provide a deep massage for the user.

Reduced inflammation

A TENS unit can also reduce chronic hyperalgesia induced by muscle inflammation. The units can help reduce swelling and increase circulation, which may also enhance tissue healing and inflammation control.
