Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Pain

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a medical device specifically designed to assist in the management of chronic and acute pain. This modality sends small, safe, electrical stimulation into the body via electrodes which are placed on the skin in the area where the pain is felt. The stimulation aids in the relief in pain by blocking the pain signal from reaching the brain, stimulating the release of the body’s natural occurring pain-relieving endorphins. An effective, drug-free option to assist in pain control.
