TENS introduction:
TENS is considered a method of pain relief,and has a wide following for use in obstetric care, particularly labour.
What is TENS: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator, more commonly referred to as a TENS unit and pronounced tens, is an electronic device that produces electrical signals used to stimulate nerves through unbroken skin.The name was coined by Dr.Charles Burton. The unit is usually connected to the skin using two or more electrodes.A typical battery-operated TENS unit consists of a pulse generator, small transformer,frequency and intensity controls, and a number of electrodes.Uses of TENSTENS is considered a method of pain relief, and has a wide following for use in obstetric care, particularly labour.In palliative care and pain medicine, TENS units are sometimes used in an attempt to alleviate neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage).

TENS Indications:
Muscle strain, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, arthritis, lumbar disc disease, acute and chronic soft tissue injury and to relax muscles, reduce fatigue and promote blood circulation and others.

TENS Features:
1. Operate easily.
2. Unique pulsed waveform to provide soft and comfortable treatment experience.
3. Electrodes with heating function and adjustable intensity of treatment.
4. Silicon electrodes with durability and safety.
5. Multiple prescription programs for different treatment purposes.
6. Treatment modes can be selected based on the treated part.
7.The built-in treatment programs can be selected in a one-touch auto-therapy.
TENS Applications:
1. Relaxation of Muscle spasm.
2.Prevention or Retardation of disuse atrophy.
3.Increasing local blood circulation.
4.Muscle re-education.
5.Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to
6.Prevent venous thrombosis.
7.Maintaining or increasing range of motion.

TENS caution:
1. if you have a pacemaker fitted or you have a severe heart disorder;
2. if you have epilepsy and you are using the machine alone;
3. if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy (at least not around the abdomen);
4. over the front of your neck or over your face;
5. over an area of broken skin; and if you have a cochlear implant hearing device.
6. Always check with your doctor if you are thinking of using TENS or any other form of self-treatment.
