The use of the TENS machine should be done as part of the pain board program under the guidance of a doctor / health professional.
How to use TENS machine
The unit is hung on a belt and connected to two or more electrodes. Placement of the electrodes is the subject of the experiment to find the best position for you. Electrodes can be placed on painful areas, around the nerves that are supplied to the painful area, or on the other side of the body.
TENS is also used to carry topical corticosteroids through the skin to treat serious episodes of pain. This treatment is called iontophoretic therapy. Mild current transfers the drug to soft tissue that serves to reduce inflammation.
TENS machine provided short term pain relief:
Sensory level stimulation - The gate dominance theory of pain means that the electrical input of the TENS machine interferes with the transmission of the pain signal by blocking the "gates" of the pain transmitted.
Motor level stimulation - The purpose of momentum level stimulation is to relieve pain by releasing the opiate-like substance in the body.
Advantages of TENS unit
The main task of the TENS unit is to block the pain signal between the area of pain and the brain. This device confuses the EMS device and people who seems mostly the same. EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation, the main purpose is to stimulate the muscles.
The TENS unit has many advantages. There are also some warnings. We recommend that you do not use it for those who are implanted with cardiac pacemakers or those who are pregnant.
Damage to nerves often leads to loss of pain and movement. If the nerve fails to properly receive or transmit the signal, pain or movement difficulties continue. By using a machine, you can work correctly with confidence. Electrical impulses often used by physiotherapists cause muscles of users to re-train brain and nerve patterns. This coercion is often enough for the nerve to follow the correct path to the muscle. If you have enough time, you can recover lost mobility due to injury or accident.
Many manufacturers contribute to the Tens unit that works as a massage machine. This element follows a different pulse pattern to provide massage to the user. For example, the intensity level can be raised, lowered, and further raised to internally massage the muscle. Even standard components come with a programmable setting that allows users to essentially massage on the unit.
Ten or so units are advanced medical tools, but their use at home is very easy. The user can indicate the pads contained in the muscles that need stimulation and the rest will be done by the machine. Unlike past complicated units, the new unit is easy to use and easy to adjust. The user must change the dial directly or select the correct schedule setting to allow proper use.
Pain easily leads to significant changes in lifestyle. When you have pain, fear often continues when you do the most secular work. This leads to longer rehabilitation or to develop a phobia that prevents specific exercise that may cause an increase in pain.
Also, it is better to place TENS Electrodes and TENS Pad in front of you, in front of your neck, in the tissue of the wound and sick skin, on the tumor and just above the spinal column. The latter is also not known about normal hand massage.
