What is TENS technology and how does it work?

IMG_4005-1TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. HiDow TENS units use low-voltage electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. A gentle current passes through electrodes that are attached to the skin near the site of pain or discomfort. Soothing pulses send bio-electrical signals through the central nervous system to help block the pain receptors. The brain then releases natural painkillers, called endorphins.

Additionally, these electrical pulses stimulate muscles and increase blood flow to the damaged or painful area. They provide therapeutic benefits and relief from back pain, neck and shoulder pain and joint pain while increasing circulation and promoting relaxation. This alternative therapy has been used by physical therapists, pain management clinics and personal trainers since the 1960s and now you can use it in the comfort of your own home.
