Electrical Stimulation Therapy (TENS) – Gentle Pain Relief Without Medication

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a modern and effective treatment method used in pain therapy. Small electrical impulses are delivered through electrodes placed on the skin. These impulses may help reduce pain, relax muscles and improve circulation.

TENS therapy is frequently used for:

  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Joint pain
  • Sciatica
  • Muscle tension
  • Sports injuries
  • Nerve pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Phantom pain
  • Pain after surgery

The electrical impulses help interrupt the transmission of pain signals to the brain and may stimulate the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms.

Advantages of TENS Therapy:

  • Non-invasive and drug-free
  • Gentle and well tolerated
  • Suitable for acute and chronic pain
  • May reduce the need for pain medication
  • Can improve mobility and quality of life

During treatment, small adhesive electrodes are placed on the painful area. Most patients feel a gentle tingling sensation that is usually comfortable and relaxing.
