About the product
A TENS Machine (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a portable device used for pain relief. It works by sending mild electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin, which stimulate the nerves in the affected area. These impulses can help block pain signals from reaching the brain and encourage the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. TENS machines are commonly used to manage chronic pain, muscle and joint pain, period pain, and pain from injuries. Compact and easy to use at home, they provide a drug-free, non-invasive option for managing discomfort and improving day-to-day quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We’re here to help.
What are the benefits of TENS treatment?
The benefits of using a TENS machine include drug-free pain relief, reduced muscle tension, and improved mobility. Many people find it particularly helpful for chronic conditions such as arthritis or sciatica. Furthermore, TENS can be used at home and tailored to your comfort.
Does TENS reduce inflammation?
A TENS machine doesn’t directly treat inflammation, but it can help reduce pain and improve comfort, which may make inflamed areas feel better. By blocking pain signals, it allows you to move more freely.
Is a TENS unit good for nerves?
Yes, TENS can be helpful for certain types of nerve pain by interfering with pain signals sent to the brain. While it doesn’t repair nerves, it can reduce discomfort and improve quality of life.
Directions
The TENS machine device is applied to the skin. Simply place the stick electrode pads on the area where you feel pain, then adjust the settings for comfort. You should always follow the instructions that come with your machine.
Side Effects
TENS machines are generally safe, but mild side effects may include skin irritation, tingling, or redness where the pads are applied. Additionally, some people may find the sensation uncomfortable at higher settings.
How it works
A TENS machine works by delivering small electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate nerves. This can block pain signals from reaching the brain and encouraging the release of natural endorphins. The result is temporary relief from pain and muscle tension.
