How does TENS work?
Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. Soothing pulses are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses (controlled by the user at all times) suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalins.
What is the history of TENS?
Stone carvings from the Egyptian Fith Dynasty in 2500BC depict an electric fish being used to treat pain. Present day TENS began after the landmark paper by Melzack and Wall 1965, - "Pain Mechanism: A New Theory." An enormous amount of scientific research followed, resulting in the therapy used today.
