A TENS unit is an “at-home” therapy device that can be utilized by many patients suffering from a variety of conditions. It stands for Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation. The stimulating pulses help prevent pain signals from reaching the brain, and helps stimulate your body to produce more Endorphins, which are the natural “painkillers” of the body. When used in conjunction with ice, there is a reduction in inflammation in the affected area. I recommend sitting down for a consultation to make sure that you are utilizing the TENS unit correctly.
