TENS therapy is a pain killing treatment which involves the use of electrodes and a machine to transmit an electric current through the skin.
It is not proven how this method works, however many patients have reported positive results from TENS therapy.
Many doctors and physiotherapists in Australia recommend TENS therapy as a possible alternative to drugs, deep tissue massage and other types of treatments.
Modern TENS machines often come with an EMS function which not only helps to target the source of the trauma, since EMS penetrates more deeply into the body tissues it can actually help to stimulate muscles, increase blood flower and rebuild torn and damaged body tissues.
