A TENS machine (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a portable device used for pain relief by delivering small electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin. These electrical impulses help reduce pain by stimulating the nerves and blocking pain signals to the brain. TENS machines are commonly used for managing chronic pain, post-surgical pain, and conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, and muscle injuries.
Key features of a TENS machine:
- Electrodes: Pads that stick to the skin to deliver electrical impulses.
- Adjustable settings: Allows users to control the intensity, frequency, and duration of electrical pulses.
- Battery-operated: Portable and easy to use at home or in clinical settings.
- Non-invasive: Provides pain relief without medications or surgery.
TENS machines are widely used in physiotherapy, pain management clinics, and by individuals seeking drug-free pain relief.
