At first, the term 'TENS' tends to invoke a subject related to some kind of numbers or list. However, it is an acronym for a medical term and its full form is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. This kind of nerve stimulation is performed in pain management using a battery powered pocket sized device, called a TENS Unit, which sends mild electrical signals to specified parts of the body.
These electrical signals are very mild and are able to increase the level of endorphins that are produced by our brains as natural painkillers. The result is a reduction or total elimination of feelings of pain in the affected area. However, there is a lot of claims and counter-claims about the effectiveness of TENS therapy, but some specialists believe that this kind of nerve stimulation has a very low risk and is non-invasive in nature, helping to reduce both chronic and acute pains.
