The Electrical Analgesic: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

One of the earliest forms of pain management!

• It is important to understand the concept, strengths, and value of this form of analgesia
• It can produce endorphins, enkephalins and serotonin depending on its application
• It is non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical
• It is unharmful and non-addictive
• It may reduce reliance on medication
• It can be used to improve the coping skills in pain management
• It improves rehabilitation and quality of life
• It is important to use the correct equipment that produces the best quality of TENS

This MODULE explains the methodology, application and treatment using TENS

Even more importantly, if the clinician only has a TENS unit this treatment remains a most useful supplement to relieve pain!
