Benefits of a Mini Wireless TENS Unit

There are plenty of options available for pain management, some more effective than others. Physical therapy, oral pain medications, and electrotherapy are the most common and effective forms of pain management. Pain can present itself as a burning, shooting, throbbing, or sharp sensation all around our body. Pain can instantly or gradually come and go, and it is always hard to predict when it will strike next. Fortunately, devices like the iTENS, a mini wireless TENS unit, can be used to deal with pain instantly and effectively. TENS therapy is a form of electrotherapy that uses electrical currents to help reduce pain. The iTENS from iTENS Australia is the perfect example of how today’s innovations can effectively help with pain management.  

Pain, depending on the cause, may cause severe discomfort in our day to day lives. It can come from injuries or health conditions. Furthermore, certain conditions and injuries need a more hands-on approach to pain management. Effective machines like the iTENS, a mini wireless TENS unit, can drastically help with treating pain more regularly. Having a personal TENS unit can have many benefits, both for short-term (acute) and long-term (chronic) pain. Always having a device ready for pain management can go a long way in terms of your overall comfort. Nowadays, TENS devices are quick, effective, and easy to use. These devices can have your pain management treatment ready with just a press of a button.  

Benefits of iTENS: A Mini Wireless TENS Unit

The iTENS from iTENS Australia is a TENS and EMS machine completely wireless. Having a completely wireless device can have plenty of benefits. Firstly, a mini wireless TENS unit like the iTENS can allow more fluid movements during treatment. Being able to move freely during your TENS therapy sessions will enable you to do more activities. You can work, exercise, or do chores even during your pain management treatments. Furthermore, it is essential to note that recovery during TENS and EMS therapy is more effective when combined with exercise. Exercise can improve blood flow throughout your body. Improved blood flow can then help provide faster recovery of nerves and muscles. You may also perform more rigorous or challenging exercises later in your recovery, even during electrotherapy. Having a completely wireless device can drastically help improve your recovery process.

Another feature iTENS users can benefit from is its Bluetooth capabilities. The iTENS is a mini wireless TENS unit that can seamlessly connect your smartphone via Bluetooth. This connection allows users to access the iTENS App. The iTENS App has various pre-set settings to choose from that apply to specific health conditions and body areas. These pre-set treatment parameters can help users optimally treat their pain. Furthermore, users with no prior electrotherapy experience can still effectively treat themselves with the available pre-set parameters.

Other Viable Options for the iTENS Mini Wireless TENS Unit

Users may also use the iTENS’ “manual mode” for more personalized treatment parameters. This feature allows users to manually set the intensity, frequency, pulse width, and duration. Having more personalized parameters on your mini wireless TENS unit can help provide more comfort and relaxation during treatment. When using the manual mode, professionals advise starting with the lowest intensity and frequency possible. Gradually increasing your parameters also helps reduce the likelihood of shocks and nerve or muscle irritations. Without a doubt, the iTENS from iTENS Australia can drastically help make your pain management sessions feel more comfortable

Another advantage of the iTENS mini wireless TENS unit over other devices is its interchangeable electrode wing pads. The iTENS has three electrode pads available. Being able to interchange different sized electrodes can allow for more optimal electrical stimulation. The shape and size of an electrode can drastically affect how the stimulation of a specific area occurs. For example, your TENS therapy session could be ineffective if you use small wing pads on your back. Small pads cannot cover enough surface area for back treatments, therefore unable to fully provide sufficient stimulation. When changing pad sizes, you can use this example: 

  • The iTENS large wing pads can treat the back or legs.  
  • The long wing pads are for elongated treatment areas like the leg up to the back, effective for treating conditions like sciatica.  
  • The small wing pads are flexible and are effective for the ankle or wrist. 

How Does TENS therapy Work?

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a form of electrotherapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate nerves. It follows the “Gate Control Theory” of pain management wherein electrical stimulation causes closure of our sensory pathways. The closure of our sensory pathways could then block pain signals from reaching our brains. Having fewer pain signals reach our brain could reduce the pain we’d generally feel. Additionally, TENS devices like the iTENS mini wireless TENS unit from iTENS Australia can also help induce endorphin release. Endorphins are our body’s natural pain killers, and they can further help with pain relief.

Using the iTENS Mini Wireless TENS Unit

When using the iTENS mini wireless TENS unit, you should make sure to attach the device to your skin before turning it on. Turning on the device before placing it on may cause shocks and skin irritations. Furthermore, it is essential to take note of your pad placement. Ideally, it is best to place the TENS devices near, around or over the painful area. However, it is essential to remember not to put the device near the temples of your head and over your spine. The iTENS is small and compact, making it easy to place all around your body. You may even discreetly place the iTENS under your clothes when working, exercising, or doing chores. The iTENS is the perfect device for pain relief, even for those with a busy schedule. Furthermore, TENS therapy can now be effective and convenient simultaneously with the iTENS device.  

Is TENS Therapy Safe?

TENS therapy is a non-toxic, chemical-free, and all-natural form of pain management. Unlike oral medications, TENS devices do not have any adverse side effects. Having no negative side effects allow users to perform TENS therapy more often. Furthermore, this can then improve your overall comfort throughout the day. However, it is essential to remember to take 20-minute breaks in between sessions. The iTENS mini wireless TENS unit has FDA approval to be a safe and effective personal pain relief device. You can purchase the iTENS without needing a prescription on most medical stores and the iTENS Australia website. Pain specialists recommend consulting a doctor or physiotherapist before your first use. You should check if electrotherapy can benefit your condition. Cancer patients, epileptic patients, pregnant women, and people with cardiac pacemakers should not be using TENS devices.
