What is TENS? TENS means Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS is a non-invasive method of pain control. The Krieslex supplied TENS stimulators are the most technically up to date compact, battery operated stimulators that are convenient to wear - anywhere you go. How long has TENS been used for pain control? TENS is the result of years of research and development in finding a method of ‘switching on’ the production of the body’s own endorphin supply - the body’s own pain relief system. TENS has been used for more than 20 years in the management of chronic and acute pain. It is used everyday in hospitals, in pain clinics and treatment centres nationwide. Many people purchase their own TENS stimulator and use it at home and at work as their personal pain management - without the use of analgesics. TENS can help to reduce or eliminate a dependency on pain-killers. If TENS has been available for so long, why have I never heard of it? TENS has many applications. Its use was limited to pain clinics that utilised its capabilities after trying all other conventional medication and physical therapies. TENS has now been shown to have its place in pain management and has given the user the ability to participate in his or her own treatment. The Stimulator is small, and portable so that it can be worn while you are doing your normal daily activities. The TENS stimulators are now used with the knowledge that the effectiveness is greatly enhanced through research by eminent physicians in the field of pain management and through the use of the latest integrated micro-electronics. Physicians and clinicians are increasingly concerned about managing their patients who are in pain. They are now able to offer this non-narcotic, non-addictive alternative to conventional drug therapy. What is the range of TENS stimulators?
