TENS Machines

What is a TENS MACHINE?

Pain-killing medication can have harmful effects with regular use. An alternative for pain relief is a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS machine). TENS machines have electrodes which are placed on the skin near the painful area. These electrodes deliver small electrical pulses which many people find helps to relieve the pain.

Do TENS machines relieve pain?

The funny thing is that some researchers apparently haven`t found much evidence that TENS machines are effective against pain. I wonder why the millions of people who rely on TENS Machines for their daily pain relief aren`t counted as evidence. Their popularity with people who have chronic pain surely must indicate some pain-relieving effect.

I have personally given TENS Machines as gifts to every member of my family and they all love them for soothing stiff neck muscles and aching backs etc. I have seen many people hobble in painfully and try the TENS Machine on their painful area and walk out feeling very much better with much less pain. On the other hand there have been some who didn`t like the effect much at all. So TENS Machines don`t appear to work for everyone.

TENS machines seem to be most effective at relieving pain in muscles, joints and nerves rather than abdominal, chest or head pains.

Are TENS machines safe?

There don't appear to be many side-effects when using a TENS machine. However, people with the following must not use a TENS machine

When the cause of the pain is not known or not diagnosed.
Pregnancy (unless specifically medically advised).
Pacemakers.
Epilepsy

Cardiac conditions.
How do TENS machines work?

TENS machines deliver small electrical pulses to the body through electrodes placed on the skin. It is possible that TENS machines may interfere with pain signals being sent to the brain so that the brain receives fewer signals from the source of the pain. It is also possible that TENS Machines stimulate the manufacture of pain easing chemicals called endorphins.
