How to choose the best TENS Machine for Pain Relief?
admin |
If you are an individual suffering from debilitating acute or chronic pain, you might want to consider various therapies that provide pain relief. A popular pain relief mechanism known worldwide, TENS therapy of pain relief efficiently manages acute and chronic pain. TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, which accounts for a method of pain relief through the generation of electrical impulses. These electrical impulses are transmitted into the body like little electrical shocks to stimulate specific nerves. Although pain relief with the generation of electrical impulses might sound bizarre, research and studies speak a different reality. Research says that more than 96% of individuals suffering from chronic or acute pain experience pain relief with the help of electrical nerve stimulation. TENS units for pain relief work on two theories.Firstly, the Gate Control Theory where the electrical impulses interfere with the neural mechanism in the spinal cord, acting as a gate to block the transmission of pain messages to the brain. Similarly, the second theory is called the Endorphin Release. According to this theory, electrical impulses trigger the production of higher levels of endorphins in the body. These endorphins are the body’s natural pain killer that blocks pain messages from going to the brain. Additionally, TENS therapy blocks the pain signals from reaching the brain without any side effects in place. In this blog, we will particularly talk about how to choose the best TENS unit for pain relief. Following this, we will focus on how UltraCare PRO’s TENS units can turn out to be your perfect saviors in the pain management game.
Checklist for Buying the best TENS machine for pain relief
TENS therapy as a whole provides ultimate pain relief and is effective for curing all sorts of pain, including back pain, lower back pain, neck pain, etc. Here is a list of components to look at while choosing TENS for pain relief.
Understand your Pain
Your pain condition is the first thing to look at when choosing a TENS machine for physiotherapy. If you are suffering from acute pain, which comes and goes in bits and pieces, you will choose a TENS unit that offers moderate-high intensity pain relief. However, if you are suffering from chronic pain, you will need a TENS unit which offers the highest levels of intensity. Therefore, your pain will decide the TENS unit you need to buy.
Number of Channels
If the number of channels present in a TENS device is more, it will cover a larger area of your body. Therefore, if a TENS unit comprises four electrodes as opposed to two electrodes, it will enable more stimulation of a wider area of nerves or muscle groups. The greater the number of channels, the more comprehensive and targeted pain relief you will get.
Wired and Wireless
Many TENS units feature wireless options. Similarly, many TENS units offer a wired mechanism for flexible and more targeted pain relief. Now, it depends on you if you want to choose a wired TENS for pain relief or a wireless TENS unit.
Portability
If you are an individual who is juggling between professional and personal commitments, having to be on the go at all times, you need a TENS unit that is portable. If your work demands travel commitments, you must be able to travel with your TENS unit for on-the-go relief. At such junctures of confusion and commitment, only a portable TENS unit will come to your aid.
Timer/Auto Shut-Off
In most cases, people prefer to use a TENS unit that presents a timer property for shutting off the TENS device automatically. This timer feature not only offers a measure of safety to the individual using it but also provides flexibility to the treatment of relief.
