What is tens?
TENS (transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation) are small electrical pulses delivered through a device that can help relieve pain in two different ways. By stimulating the sensory nerves through TENS, the body produces high levels of endorphins to reduce the pain in the body. The other method of pain relief, known as Gate Control Theory, blocks the pain signals to the brain.
EMS VS. TENS
EMS (Electrical Muscular Stimulation) is often confused with TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Neurostimulation), which is a commonly used modality in physical therapy. Compex EMS delivers an electrical current at a specifically designed frequency to stimulate the motor nerves. These nerves trigger the muscle to contract based on the amount of intensity applied through the device. The brain goes through a similar process when actually lifting weights.
TENS is designed to stimulate the sensory nerves. Sensory nerves usually receive a signal that they transmit to the brain, after which the brain decides whether the stimulus is painful, soft, warm, etc. When using a TENS program, the goal is to relieve pain by either triggering an endorphin release (low-frequency TENS programs) or to block the pain signals to the brain via Gate Control theory (high-frequency TENS programs).
