TENS – Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
is a therapy that has been around for years and used to treat nerve related pain conditions. Prescribed by doctors, physical therapists, pain management clinics and personal trainers since the 1960s, TENS uses low-voltage electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain through soothing pulses that simulate natural painkillers, called endorphins.
What kind of pain conditions does TENS target?
TENS provides pain relief for many different types of conditions and illnesses, including, but not limited to, pulled or strained muscles, tendinitis, bursitis, lower back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, bone pain, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. In addition, TENS is often used by fitness and sports enthusiasts to provide relief for post-workout pain or soreness and to help muscles relax and recover.
How does TENS work?
Using the HiDow TENS unit of your choice is easy. Gone are the days when these units were bulky, costly, and only available by prescription. HiDow TENS units are a real game-changer: portable, hands-free and rechargeable with a streamlined, modern look.
To get started, you simply connect the electrodes from the small, battery-powered machine to your skin, using reusable and self-adhesive silicon electrode gel pads as the conduit. By doing so, you create a circuit of electrical impulses that painlessly travel along your nerve fibers.
Is it possible to customize the TENS unit?
Many TENS units from HiDow’s product portfolio can be customized to your preferences, thanks to a variety of wavelength frequencies. Choose from intensities of current or even a stable flow of pulses. For optimal results, consult with your doctor to see which settings are the best for your pain management.
Is using a TENS unit safe?
The treatment is generally very safe and relief is almost immediate. Using HiDow TENS gives you freedom from drugs that often come with side effects. If you’re seeking pain management or fast relief, TENS can be a used instead of, or in addition to, medication.
Can TENS augment physical therapy?
Absolutely. You can use TENS therapy between your physical therapy sessions, right in the comfort of your own home. The HiDow TENS unit could even strengthen the results you get from your physical therapy by facilitating movement between sessions.
