TENS

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a type of physical therapy that utilizes electrical stimulation to provide pain relief in the body. TENS works by sending low-voltage electrical impulses through electrodes that are placed on the skin near the site of pain. The electrical impulses activate the nerve fibres, thereby blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain and providing a sensation of deep relaxation. TENS is often used to treat chronic pain, as well as to reduce inflammation and muscle spasms. It can also be used as a form of relaxation, as electrical stimulation can help to reduce stress and tension in the body.
