Pain Relief & Support
Overview
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a widely used non-drug pain management approach. The unit sends low-voltage electrical pulses to the skin through adhesive electrode pads, modulating pain perception. TENS is symptom relief — it does not treat the underlying cause, which is why it works best as part of a broader rehab plan.
Common uses
Home pain management for chronic back pain, cervical spondylosis, arthritis and post-injury pain.
Who may benefit
Chronic musculoskeletal pain, on a physiotherapist's or doctor's advice.
Key features
- Multiple modes
- Adjustable intensity
- Rechargeable models available
General usage information
Place electrode pads around (not over) the painful area, following the physiotherapist's or manual's placement guide. Start at low intensity and increase to a strong but comfortable tingling sensation, never painful. Typical session is 20 to 30 minutes. Move pads slightly for repeat sessions to avoid skin irritation.
Safety considerations
- Do not use if you have a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator without cardiologist clearance
- Do not place electrodes on the front of the neck, temples, chest (heart area) or over broken skin
- Not for use during pregnancy without physiotherapist clearance
- Not for use while driving or operating machinery
- Stop and consult a physiotherapist if skin irritation develops
Frequently asked questions
Is TENS safe to use at home?
Yes for most people, provided the contraindications are respected — no pacemakers, no placement near the heart or throat, not during pregnancy without clearance. A physiotherapist should show you correct pad placement for your condition.
Will TENS cure my back pain?
TENS is symptom relief. It reduces pain during and shortly after use, which helps you stay active and continue exercise-based rehab. It does not fix the underlying cause.
How long can I use TENS each day?
Typically 20 to 30 minute sessions, two to three times a day. Continuous all-day use is not recommended.
