tens unit use
A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit is a portable, battery-operated device that delivers mild electrical currents through electrodes placed on the skin to provide pain relief and muscle stimulation. This innovative medical device operates by sending controlled electrical pulses that interact with nerve signals, effectively reducing pain perception and promoting natural pain-management mechanisms in the body. The unit features adjustable intensity levels and multiple treatment modes, allowing users to customize their therapy sessions according to their specific needs. Modern TENS units incorporate advanced microprocessor technology that ensures precise current delivery and timing, while safety features prevent excessive stimulation. These devices are commonly used for managing both chronic and acute pain conditions, including back pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and post-operative recovery. The compact design makes it suitable for home use, enabling patients to self-administer treatment under professional guidance. Many contemporary models also include preset programs for different pain conditions, timer functions for controlled therapy sessions, and dual-channel capability for treating multiple areas simultaneously.
