How does TENS work?
TENS relieves pain in two ways. Electrical pulses pass from
the machine through electrodes placed over the nerve centres.Benefit is felt firstly by blocking the pain
signals normally sent to the brain through the nerve fibres; thereby
interrupting the rain's awareness of pain.
Secondly, the body is
stimulated to increase it's own production of natural painkillers known as
endorphins and enkephalins.
