Benefits of Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is found to effectively manage nerve pain, increase blood circulation, relax muscle spasms, strengthen muscles, prevent and retard disuse atrophy, maintain and increase range of motion, promote bone growth and provide relief from post-traumatic and post-surgical acute pain. It is also found to offer immediate post-surgical stimulation of muscles to prevent venous thrombosis as well as help in chronic wound healing, pressure ulcers and drug delivery.

How does Electrotherapy work for Pain Relief?

• When you apply electrotherapy you are sending mild electrical impulses to a particular area to interrupt or block the nerve pain signals and bring down pain.
• Electrotherapy works well for nerve pain like muscle weakness, upper and lower back pain, extreme sensitivity, numbness and tingling.
• One theory says that stimulating the nerves through electric currents helps the body produce natural painkillers called endorphins.

How to use an Electrotherapy Device?

Electrotherapy units comprise a battery-powered device connected to adhesive electrode pads through wires. These pads are sticky and adhere to the skin. The electrode pads must be placed on the body area that needs treating. When the device is turned on, a mild electric current is transmitted through the wires and the electrode to that area of the body. Newer models are one-piece units without wires. Electrodes and battery power are combined into a single unit designed to be worn on the back, arm, leg or anywhere on the body. They are unnoticeable and can be worn outdoors.

What is TENS Electrotherapy?

TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Neural (or Nerve) Stimulation units are electrotherapy devices. Through TENS pain relief, electrodes placed on the area of pain stimulate the nerves, blocking other signals of pain. TENS units help in the stimulation, contraction and relaxation of muscle fibers, increasing blood flow and encouraging muscle growth. 

Using TENS unit in an area associated with nerve problem can help block pain and stimulate circulation to promote healing. These devices are found to help the body produce Beta-endorphins – which are pain-fighting endorphins.

What is the Difference between TENS and EMS Units?

A TENS unit stimulates the nervous tissue to provide relief from certain types of acute and chronic pain but EMS units work on the muscles instead of the nerves and make the muscles contract.
