Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation(tens) Therapy
At Pramukh Advance Physiotherapy Center, we are committed to providing non-invasive, drug-free solutions for effective pain relief. One such advanced modality we offer is TENS Therapy (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) — a proven technique for managing both acute and chronic pain.
What is TENS Therapy?
TENS Therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses low-voltage electrical currents to provide pain relief. Small electrodes are placed on the skin over painful areas, and gentle electrical impulses are delivered to stimulate the nerves. This helps reduce pain signals going to the brain while also encouraging the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins.
How TENS Therapy Works
The electrical impulses generated during a TENS session help to:
- Block pain signals from reaching the brain
- Relax tight or sore muscles
- Improve local blood circulation
- Stimulate the release of endorphins (natural painkillers)
TENS therapy is painless and comfortable, making it suitable for a wide range of individuals and conditions.
