TENS Unit Session

25


25 per session - - Posted Jun 18, 2017

TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a back pain treatment that uses low voltage electric current to relieve pain.

TENS is typically done with a TENS unit, a small battery-operated device. The device can be hooked to a belt and is connected to two electrodes. The electrodes carry an electric current from the TENS machine to the skin.

How TENS Might Help Back Pain

There is little research to support how -- or even if -- TENS really works. Its use dates back to the 1960s with the introduction of the gate control theory of pain. According to the theory, stimulating nerves closes a "gate" mechanism in the spinal cord, and that can help eliminate the sensation of pain. During a TENS treatment for back pain, electrodes are placed on the skin over an area of pain in the back. This creates electrical impulses that travel along nerve fibers and create a tingling sensation.

Some people feel less pain when the electrical impulses are delivered. This could be because stimulating the nerves blocks other pain signals. Another theory is that stimulating the nerves may help the body produce natural painkillers called endorphins.

Research, though, has for the most part, failed to support the use of TENS alone for back pain. In one review of four studies comparing TENS to placebo, conflicting evidence made it difficult to determine whether TENS is beneficial in reducing back pain intensity.

Using TENS

TENS, when properly used, is generally safe. If you think you would like to try TENS for muscle pain, speak to your doctor. The technique works differently for different people, and it's not for everyone. Your doctor may advise against using TENS if you have a pacemaker or you are in the first weeks of a pregnancy.

Before starting TENS, have your doctor or physical therapist show you how to use the TENS machine.

A TENS Unit can be good for must superficial pains such as that of back pain.

About Gerwin Legaspi

A little about me or as I like to call it, about me in a nutshell. I was Born in the Philippines, the youngest of five. I was separated from my family and ended up in an orphanage with three of my bro...thers. At the age of 9 I was adopted to a wonderful family and lived in NC, MN, and OH. I joined the Navy in '05, became a Corpsman and got out in 2013 and about a year later moved to San Diego. I have been interested in the Eastern/Oriental Arts all my life. In particular, their theory and concept of energy. I moved to SD so I could expand my knowledge and understanding at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. Where it became very clear to me that my passion and career would be separate. As I found my biological family in the Philippines, I decided to hold school and go back to work so that I could help provide for them. I currently work as a Health Tech in Veteran's Health Systems-La Jolla but my passion remains true. For my friends and family, I offer various modalities from Energy Work, Gua Sha, Acupoints, Meditation and numerous styles of bodywork or massage: Thai, Deep Tissue, Tui Na, Swedish. I now offer my particular set of skills to our symbiotic economy here at simbi. I love conversation of philosophy and concepts and theories but as an introvert, I also tend to like my isolation. I love nature and animals. In general, I enjoy being in the outdoors. I used to read a great deal and can offer my skills critiquing written work. I am no stranger to hard labor but like many people, I would prefer to relax. When the need arises, however, I can offer help in moving, yard work, and pretty much anything else. I have a love for technology, I guess I am a bit nerdy this way... but I used to design websites and create them old school style using HTML coding via notes.... lol. Yes at that time we painstakingly remembered and memorized certain coding formats in terms of header and body as well attaching things like images and links... there is a code for nearly everything and as such my second passion will always be technology! This was during my high-school years and was just for fun, if I had never joined the Navy I would probably have gone to IT school but at any rate I am still quite proficient on most tech-related subjects. From Web-design to MS Excel. I guess I am a software junky... don't ask me anything about hardware though ;) I have recently gotten very interested in the past year and a half or so in stock trading through Robinhood. I was an advent user of Loyal3 for a while until they shut down. I can offer you a FREE stock by using this link: share.robinhood.com/gerwinl (can be found below in the link section) as well as provide you with advice in regards to stocks. I love Robinhood because like simbi it is FREE and does not charge for each transaction. I tend to try and be as honest as I can and am open to any conversation. I am excited about Simbi because when I work on people, I prefer the traditional method where I am paid for in food, gas, lodging or simply good company. With that said keep an eye out for my upcoming services as they will range from various aspect and interest throughout my life. I am also an aspiring author and you can check out my author page on Amazon along with my current published work using KDP: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B06VXL14Y4 so I can answer questions you may have if you aspire to publish your own book one day for free!show more
