TENS Physiotherapy - An Advanced Technology to Relieve Pain

Aches and pains are prevalent. They might be caused by weariness or exercise, but they can also be a symptom of a more serious disease. While most physical ailments are innocuous, understanding what causes them and when to seek medical assistance is beneficial. The degree and frequency of body aches can vary. Sharp, intermittent pains or mild but continuous discomfort are two ways to characterize them. Body aches are frequently identified and treated without the need for a doctor's visit. They may, however, require medical assistance at times.

Physiotherapy to relieve body pain

When you have long-term pain (also known as chronic pain) or an accident, physical therapy is typically one of the best options. It can help you move more freely and feel better. Soft tissue massage and stretching to release tension and spasm, joint mobilizations, acupuncture, electrotherapy, corrective exercise, posture awareness, and counseling on how to overcome pain in daily activities may be included in physiotherapy treatment to relieve your pain. Physical therapists are experts not only in pain treatment but also in pain prevention. Yours will check for areas of weakness or stiffness that may be contributing to the pain. And they will treat those regions with specific workouts to alleviate discomfort and improve your mobility.

How a normal physical therapy session looks alike

In a physical therapy session, you may do a mix of

Low-impact aerobic training

These workouts will get your heart rate up while being gentle on your joints. Instead of running, you might walk quickly or utilize a stationary bike to warm up before doing your strengthening activities.

Strengthening exercises

Your physical therapist's office equipment, resistance bands, or your own body weight are all options (think lunges, squats, and pushups). Along with other body areas, you can concentrate on your core muscles (belly, glutes, and back).

Pain relief exercises

These exercises target the painful areas, making you stronger and more flexible, which should make daily life simpler.

Modern pain-relieving methods in Physiotherapy

1. Ultrasound 
2. TENS 

Ultrasound in Physiotherapy

Ultrasonic therapy, also known as focused ultrasound or therapeutic ultrasound, is a non-invasive treatment procedure that is used to decrease pain, improve circulation, and promote tissue repair. Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves produced by a transducer head, which resembles a microphone, to penetrate soft tissues. This might be used to provide deep heat to tissues, thereby alleviating pain. A combination of ultrasound and physiotherapy can be used to relieve pain caused by a range of disorders.

TENS Physiotherapy - Most advanced pain relieving method

A soothing electrical pulse is used as part of the therapy known as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to reduce pain. A TENS unit is a battery-operated gadget that uses electrodes on the skin's surface to transmit electrical impulses. The electrodes are positioned at trigger sites or close to the nerves where the pain originates.

How does transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) work?

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) has two different mechanisms of action. According to one idea, the electric current activates nerve cells that prevent the passage of pain signals, altering how painful things feel to you. The alternative viewpoint contends that nerve stimulation increases the body's natural painkiller and endorphin levels. The perception of pain is then suppressed by the endorphins. 

Effective treatment of different pains by TENS

TENS therapy has been used or is being researched to treat both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) pain. Some of the most common conditions for which TENS has been used include:

• Osteoarthritis (disease of the joints).
• Fibromyalgia (aching and pain in muscles, tendons, and joints all over the body, especially along the spine.
• Tendinitis (an inflammation or irritation of a tendon).
• Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints).
• Labor pain.
• Low back pain.
• Chronic pelvic pain.
• Diabetes-related neuropathy (damage to the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body).
• Peripheral artery disease (“hardening of the arteries” that circulate blood to the body).

TENS Therapy devices by UltraCare Pro

TENS 1.0 - Tens Physiotherapy Machine For Instant Pain Relief

TENS 1.0 is a dual-channel Tens Physiotherapy unit that provides instant relief to aching muscles and joints. TENS 1.0, which has been engineered into a very handy and compact device, has one significant therapy, namely TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) therapy, which has proven to be the best non-invasive, drug-free method of pain relief. The smart and stylish TENS 1.0 stimulator has two output channels, allowing for the connection of two or four electrodes, and offers approximately 50 intensity levels and 25 programs. TENS Physiotherapy uses adhesive pads known as electrodes that are put at certain spots on a user’s body depending on where their pain is physically located to produce minute electrical impulses that are delivered to the body like tiny electric shocks. These electrical impulses cause a tingling or buzzing feeling on the skin by stimulating certain nerves.

It has 25 power intensity levels and 10 treatment modes, all of which are easily regulated by using the plus or minus buttons. It is very simple to use. The TENS 2.0’s electrical impulses encourage the body to produce more endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller that stops pain signals from reaching the brain without causing any negative side effects. Tens 2.0 has many smart features which include 10 Operating Modes,  25 Intensity Levels, a Long-lasting rechargeable battery, LCD Display, Ultra-Light & Compact, an Auto timer, Reusable electrode pads, and Durable Magnetic Plugs.

Advantages of TENS devices

A non-invasive approach to pain treatment is TENS. It can be used as a substitute for, or in addition to, prescription or over-the-counter painkillers. Some individuals who utilize TENS therapy may be able to reduce their prescription dosage. Without first consulting, your doctor never stops taking your prescription or changing the dosage. The TENS unit's portability and small size allow it to be used everywhere there is a need for pain management, including at home.

A safe option to painkillers

While painkillers temporarily relieve physical discomfort, they also have very negative long-term side effects. Modern alternatives to medications are now available, including effective and secure TENS devices from Ultracare Pro.

Do not use TENS to

• To contaminated tissues, osteomyelitis-related lesions, or if you have tuberculosis. 
• To tissues that have recently received radiation therapy.
• To damage skin.
• The front or side of the neck, over the eyes, the mouth, or elsewhere on the head.
• Close to the genitalia or reproductive organs.
• To body parts with diminished or absent feelings.
• To guarantee the safe use of TENS, it should not be applied to those who have problems communicating or who are unable to give feedback.
