TENS THERAPY (TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION)
TENS therapy is a safe, non-invasive pain relief method that uses mild electrical currents to reduce pain and relax muscles. The TENS machine sends small electrical impulses through electrodes placed on your skin, creating a tingling sensation that interferes with pain signals and encourages the production of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
