TENS, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, is a technique that administers minor electrical pulses to the nerve fibers beneath the skin’s surface. By doing so, it interrupts the transmission of pain signals to the brain via the peripheral nervous system and spinal cord. Essentially, it’s a therapy utilizing low-voltage electrical currents for pain alleviation.

The Rechargeable TENS Machine operates using a compact, battery-powered device, similar in size to a pocket radio. Typically, two electrodes are connected from the machine to the skin. It’s crucial to place these electrodes at pressure points or areas of pain to establish a circuit of electrical impulses along nerve fibers.

This machine can be adjusted to emit varying wavelengths of electrical current, such as bursts or a continuous flow, depending on the required intensity. Often, it’s the doctor who determines the appropriate settings.

Primarily, the Rechargeable TENS Machine is used for managing chronic pain, as well as acute pain following trauma or surgery. While it’s effective for pain reduction, it’s not suitable for all individuals, necessitating consultation with a healthcare provider.

The EMS mode included is beneficial for preventing and slowing down disuse atrophy or aiding in muscle re-education.
