Tens Machines and Lower Back Pain

Lower Back Pain: What is it?

Lower back pain is characterised by pains or aches situated from anywhere between the base of the back of the ribs to the top of the legs. The pain can come on slowly but more often than not, begins suddenly. It can be made even worse by bending, sitting badly, turning in bed and even coughing or sneezing.

The usual cause of lower back pain is muscle stress and strain but it can also originate from ligament, tendon or vertabrae damage, posture, feet positioning amongst others.

Lower back pain is often described in three categories. Acute when it has lasted less than 6 weeks, Sub-acute if it has lasted between 6 - 12 weeks and chronic if it has lasted longer than 12 weeks.


Lower Back Pain: Does TENS work?

Naturally prevention is better than a cure. One should attempt to improve posture, keep fit and avoid carrying heavy loads. Treatments often include pain killing drugs, osteopathy, etc. However, TENS provides a useful pain killing alternative or complementary form of relief.

TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free method of relief. It is ideal for the treatment of lower back pain. 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.
