TENS Therapy and Chiropractic Care in Singapore: Benefits and Uses
At One Spine Chiropractic, we are dedicated to offering a range of holistic treatments to enhance your overall well-being. One such therapy that has garnered attention for its effectiveness in pain management is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy. A TENS unit works by delivering electrical impulses to stimulate the body's natural pain relievers and can be used to manage various types of pain.
What is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) Therapy?
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy involves the use of a TENS machine to deliver mild electrical impulses to the skin through electrodes. These electrical stimulations help to stimulate the nerves and provide pain relief by interrupting the pain signals sent to the brain. Additionally, TENS therapy may promote the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, further enhancing its analgesic effects.
How Does a TENS Machine Work?
A TENS machine is a portable device that consists of a battery-powered generator connected to electrodes. These electrodes are placed on the skin over the area experiencing pain. When the device is activated, it sends electrical impulses through the electrodes, which travel along the nerve fibres to relieve pain. The frequency and intensity of these impulses can be adjusted to suit the individual’s comfort and the specific condition being treated.
Applications of TENS Therapy
TENS therapy can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including:
- Chronic Pain - Helps manage long-term pain conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and neuropathy by using TENS units, which deliver small electrical impulses through electrodes to the skin.
- Acute Pain - Provides relief from sudden onset pain due to injuries or post-surgical recovery.
- Muscle Pain - Alleviates discomfort caused by muscle strains, spasms, or overuse.
- Joint Pain - Reduces pain in joints affected by conditions like osteoarthritis or bursitis.
