TENS Therapy in Clearwater

Reduce Pain with Electrical Stimulation

TENS sends low voltage currents to stimulate the nerves in the affected area which often helps patients relieve pain.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Therapy is the most common form of electrical stimulation used for pain management. TENS is a safe, non-invasive pain management therapy often paired with other non-invasive treatments. It is also used to aid in healing after surgical treatments and fractures.

The TENS machine generates a gentle electric current that is delivered through small electrodes that attach to your skin. This current helps to reduce pain by stimulating the local nerves and sensory fibers, much like rubbing your knee after bumping it on the corner of the coffee table.

The rubbing helps to override the pain sensation, providing relief. Essentially, electrical stimulation follows the same idea, exciting the nerves to alleviate pain and encouraging the production of endorphins, which are natural pain relievers produced by the body.

Benefits of TENS Therapy

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Therapy in Clearwater offers various benefits for pain management and rehabilitation:

• Pain Relief: TENS delivers electrical impulses that can reduce the perception of pain by inhibiting pain signals.
• Non-Invasive: TENS is a non-invasive and drug-free pain management option.
• Muscle Relaxation: It helps relax tense muscles by promoting the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.
• Improved Circulation: TENS may enhance blood flow, promoting better oxygenation and nutrient delivery to tissues.
• Versatility: TENS units are adaptable for various conditions, including chronic pain, acute injuries, and musculoskeletal issues.
