TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free
method of pain relief. It is very useful for the treatment of many painful conditions.
Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. TENS uses soothing pulses that are
sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses 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.
