What is a TENS Machine? A Complete Guide to Understanding TENS and the Infinity TENS Unit

If you suffer from chronic pain or are recovering from an injury, you may have heard of TENS, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS is a non-invasive pain management technique that uses low voltage electrical currents to stimulate the nerves and reduce pain. In this blog, we will explore what TENS machines are, how effective they are and provide instructions for using the Infinity TENS Unit.

 

How Effective are TENS Machines?

TENS machines are a safe and effective alternative to traditional pain medications. TENS can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, arthritis, migraines, and sports injuries. TENS can also be used to manage pain during labor, postoperative pain, and pain associated with cancer treatments.

 Many people who use TENS machines report a reduction in pain levels, an increase in mobility, and a better quality of life. However, it's essential to remember that TENS machines are not a cure-all and may not work for everyone.

How Does a TENS Machine Work?
TENS machines work by sending small electrical pulses through the skin and into the nerves.
The electrical impulses help to disrupt the pain signals sent to the brain, reducing the sensation of pain.
TENS can also stimulate the production of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, which can provide further pain relief.
