TENS pain relief

How does TENS work?
Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. Soothing pulses are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses (controlled by the user at all times) suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalins.


Will TENS work for me?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a highly effective treatment for pain. It is used worldwide and recommended by sports coaches, physiotherapy departments, pain clinics, doctors and other medical practitioners. A CMS TENS 3000 unit will ease pain, and should result in a decrease of pain medications! Numerous painful conditions can be relieved including:-

Remember: Pain is the body's method of warning you that something is wrong so before using your unit, you should establish the cause of pain by consulting with your Physician or Therapist.

What is the history of TENS?
Stone carvings from the Egyptian Fith Dynasty in 2500 BC depict an electric fish being used to treat pain. Present day TENS began after the landmark paper by Melzack and Wall 1965, entitled “Pain Mechanism: A New Theory.” An enormous amount of scientific research followed, resulting in the therapy used today.
