Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-voltage electrical currents to alleviate pain. It involves the use of a small, battery-operated device that delivers the electrical impulses to the affected area via electrodes placed on the skin. These electrical signals can help to disrupt and reduce the perception of pain by stimulating the nerves and releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. TENS therapy is commonly used in physical therapy to manage various types of pain, including chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, and postsurgical discomfort.
