TENS
|
TENS is not really in the category of muscle stimulation, but it is important to provide some information on it since it is related as a method of treatment by using electrical signals and many EMS machines also function as TENS machines. While EMS and muscle stimulators target the muscles, TENS target the sensory nerves. Stimulation of these nerves help block pain signals and increases endorphins, the body's natural pain killer, ini the body.
People respond uniquely to TENS treatment. You may find reduced pain while the machine is on or after the treatment. Thats why there are so many different variations and modes of treatment in a TENS machine. These machines usually have a way to adjust the signal's intensity, frequency, burst rate, etc. to find a setting that works for you.
Nerve stimulation with TENS has great appeal since it is a non-invasive treatment requiring no drugs or surgery and the treatment can be administered at any time of the day. People will find that they can find relief after a half hour of treatment. There is no risk of side effects and addiction.
