A Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) machine produces electrical pulses that stimulate the nerves. These impulses focus on the body’s sensory nerve endings that control the pain caused by muscle spasms and injuries. Moreover, with the help of TENS therapy using these devices, the electric impulses prevent the pain signals from reaching the brain. This concept is based on the “Gate Control Theory of Pain Management”. Additionally, constant electrical stimulation can also produce more endorphins in our body, which are our natural pain killers. The blockage of pain signals and the increased production of endorphins can decrease pain sensations. However, aside from the base benefit of a TENS machine, people now look for additional features for portability. Hence, it is why devices like a mini TENS unit are so popular. Subsequently, iTENS Australia offers the innovative iTENS wireless TENS unit for more effective and convenient pain management treatment.
