TENS stands for Transcutaneous (through the skin) Electrical Nerve Stimulation and is a treatment that uses low voltage electrical currents to relieve pain and provides other therapeutic benefits.

A gentle electrical current is passed through electrodes which are attached to the skin near the site of the pain or discomfort. The pulses send bio-electrical signals through the central nervous system, thus blocking pain receptors. Exactly the same way as a strong painkiller would work.

The current is produced by a small battery operated device, which is portable and easy to use making it ideal to provide your own therapeutic treatment at home or work.
