TENS

                              TENS:

TENS is widely used around the world for a variety of painful conditions such as;

·         Arthritis

·         Low back pain

·         Labor pain

·         Nerve related pain such as phantom pain

How does TENS work?

A small electrical device (think back to the days of the Walkman!)

delivers electrical impulses across the skin.  Lightweight versions

not much bigger than a credit card are available these days. This

can be clipped to your jeans or placed in your pocket.

·  The device is connected by wires to sticky pad electrodes, which are placed on the skin in the area of the pain. This allows a small, low-intensity electric charge to be passed across the area.
