iTENS: An Electrical Nerve Stimulation Device

We can now manage pain whenever and wherever, and it is possible with the help of a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation device (TENS). Electrotherapy like TENS has been around to help people with acute and chronic pain for a while now. The iTENS is the revolutionary approach to pain relief by being the world’s first wireless TENS device to have FDA approval. The iTENS unit combines wireless technology to power TENS electrode pads for effective pain management.

An electrical nerve stimulation device consists of electrodes with adhesive gel pads that allow low-voltage electrical currents to pass through. The TENS electrode pads deliver the currents through the skin around the painful region to excite the sensory nerves, which initiates the pain gate mechanism to block pain signals. A TENS device also stimulates tensed muscles and aids in the faster recovery of damaged nerves. The iTENS electrode gel pads are wireless with Bluetooth connectivity and in-app enhancements. The electrodes are controllable via the smartphone app.

An electrical nerve stimulation device like iTENS can reduce symptomatic pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, back, and feet. It may also reduce the pain from conditions like arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, bursitis, and even period pain. Aside from blocking pain signals from reaching the brain and the spinal cord, the electrical stimulation of the nerves also induces the release of the body’s natural painkillers called endorphins. As the TENS device works, the body feels less pain.

Using iTENS as an Electrical Nerve Stimulation Device

To use the iTENS electrical nerve stimulation device, place the electrodes near or around the most painful spot. When you turn on the device, please start with the lowest frequency level and gradually increase it as the body accommodates the stimulation. You will feel a mild tingling sensation as the frequency increases. The intensity should be at the level where it feels strong but comfortable and not overpowering. Avoid turning the frequency too high as it may over-stimulate the nerves and cause further damage. Take note that there should be no point during the stimulation where the muscles contract. You can also select the treatment you want on the iTENS smartphone app that comes ready with pre-set settings for more straightforward and convenient use.

TENS treatment is a safe and non-invasive way of relieving pain. It is a drug-free alternative for people who want to reduce their intake of oral medications that may have adverse side effects. You can use an electrical nerve stimulation device like iTENS while at work or doing other physical activities. It is safe to use it many times a day as long as you take regular breaks in between. Consult with a doctor or physiotherapist for a proper recommendation of your TENS unit. The iTENS is widely available nationwide over the counter and online.
