What is a Tens Machines?

A Tens Machine or also known as a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) are devices that are designed to help relieve pain which involved the use of mild electrical currents passing through the body. Tens Machines are small battery-operated devices that used alongside tens electrodes (sticky pads) that are connected to the machine via wires - some are connected via bluetooth so no wires are needed.

These days the number of Tens products available have a range of different programs and have become far more portable, especially our Wireless Tens Machine. Electrodes (sticky pads) are attached directly to your skin from/connected to a Tens Machine. No need to worry when you attach them to your skin, they should not hurt you when you pull them off after use.

Once the Tens Electrodes are attached to your skin and the tens machine is switched on, a small electrical current is delivered to the area of treatment (where the electrodes are placed) and you will most likely feel a tingling sensation during the treatment.

How can a Tens Machine help you?

Tens Machines use electrodes to send an electrical current through your body – the current focuses on the sensory nerve endings that are used to control pain, eventually this current is sent towards the brain to request it to release endorphins throughout the body – this chemical is normally known as the body’s natural painkiller.

The endorphins whilst acting as a natural painkiller do indeed reduce the pain felt by the user – acting like a prescription drug but the machine comes without side effects, which is a major positive.
TENS is usually a ‘go to’ method when aiming at pain relief, however despite it being used as a pain inhibitor, using the machines can also aid in reducing nerve pain and possible muscle inflammation.

There have been studies to show that using a Tens Machine over time can lead to better health and wellness.
