TENS: Can Tens or EMS Improve Blood Circulation?

What is a tens unit?

A TENS machine offers an effective alternative to painkilling medication, providing relief from discomfort. This portable and compact device, powered by batteries, is designed to be worn on the body. It consists of a box or device connected to stick pads (or Bluetooth-enabled pads) that adhere to the skin. These pads transmit small electrical pulses to the body, resembling a mild electric shock sensation (though not as intense).

TENS therapy has been found beneficial in alleviating pain for individuals with specific types of chronic pain or conditions. Additionally, it is known to improve blood circulation. One of the advantages of TENS therapy is its high level of tolerance and minimal side effects, making it a popular and widely used tool or device among individuals seeking pain relief.

How can they improve poor blood circulation?

The circulatory system plays a crucial role in supplying oxygen and essential nutrients to the body's cells. When blood flow becomes inadequate in a specific area, cells struggle to receive the necessary energy and nutrients, hampering optimal bodily function.

The consequences of poor blood circulation can be uncomfortable. If left untreated, it may result in discomfort and potentially give rise to additional health complications in the future.

So, how can TENS or EMS devices help?

By incorporating electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), you can effectively stimulate your muscles and enhance blood flow to the treated area. Our Tens Devices and EMS machines offer a range of programs that modulate the electrical current, effectively causing your muscles to contract and release in a repetitive manner throughout the treatment. This process closely mimics natural physiological activities like receiving a massage or engaging in walking.

While EMS does not replace exercises such as walking, it serves as a valuable addition to your routine, particularly in promoting circulation. Our available Tens Machines are designed to condition your muscles and improve the efficiency of your vascular system. With regular use, these devices enhance the delivery of oxygenated blood through the blood vessels, resulting in increased muscle endurance and performance. By inducing non-fatiguing muscle contractions, EMS dilates blood vessels, leading to improved blood circulation. For more detailed information, please refer to our additional resources.

Using an EMS device for 25 minutes or more per day will yield noticeable effects. Our Tens Machines are user-friendly and portable, allowing for easy use in various locations such as your office or while enjoying television. Incorporating multiple sessions throughout the day becomes effortless, enabling you to maximize the benefits of EMS conveniently.
