HOW TENS WORKS

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.

TENS is recommended throughout the world by pain clinics and physiotherapy departments. Not only does TENS reduce your pain, it can also help you to reduce your need for painkillers.

TENS is simply a means of stimulating your body's own natural defences against pain.

The electrode pads are usually placed near the source of the pain.

Your TENS unit sends a very small electric current through the skin. This stimulates the sensory nerves, which carry touch and temperature signals. These nerves go to the same connections in the spine as the nerves carrying pain. A strong sensory signal will replace the pain signal traveling up the spine to the brain. This is known as the "pain Gate".

In the pain Gate mode TENS provides relief while it is switched on.

The tingling/pins and needles sensation that you experience competes with the painful signals. The effect may start to wear off after 1-2 hours. You can stop for an hour and then try again. You can use TENS several times a day.

At low Pulse Rate settings, TENS causes a release of endorphins, the body's natural morphine – like substances, which relaxes and relieves your pain.

WHAT THE PROGRAMMES DO

The Touch Tens has carefully-chosen pre-set pain-suppression Programmes and is particularly easy to use. Each programme has its Own combination of pulse Rate and Pulse Width and each will feel different and suppress pain in different ways.

HOW LONG AND OFTEN SHOULD I USE TENS ?

You can use TENS as much, and as often, as you get relief from it. Even continuous treatment is fine, but electrodes should be repositioned regularly (at least every 12 hours) to allow the skin to be exposed to air.
