Product Description
TENS introduction:
TENS is considered a method of pain relief,and
has a wide following for use in obstetric care, particularly
labour.
What is TENS: Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulator, more commonly referred to as a TENS unit and
pronounced tens, is an electronic device that produces electrical
signals used to stimulate nerves through unbroken skin.The name
was coined by Dr.Charles Burton. The unit is usually connected to
the skin using two or more electrodes.A typical battery-operated
TENS unit consists of a pulse generator, small
transformer,frequency and intensity controls, and a number of
electrodes.Uses of TENSTENS is considered a method of pain
relief, and has a wide following for use in obstetric care,
particularly labour.In palliative care and pain medicine, TENS
units are sometimes used in an attempt to alleviate neuropathic
pain (pain due to nerve damage).
TENS
Indications:
Muscle strain, cervical
spondylosis, frozen shoulder, arthritis, lumbar disc disease,
acute and chronic soft tissue injury and to relax muscles, reduce
fatigue and promote blood circulation and
others.
TENS Functions:
This physical therapy device can used for
massager,health care and relieve pain,treat some common
diseases,for example: rheumatoid arthritis, muscle aging, stiff
neck, cervical spine disease, degenerative joint disease, lumbar
hypertrophy
TENS therapeutic Principle:
The gate control theory of pain was put forward by
Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall in ***5. They proposed that there
was a “gate” mechanism in the central nervous system that opened
to allow pain messages through to the brain and closed to prevent
them getting through.
When we feel pain, such as when we touch a hot stove,
sensory receptors in our skin send a message via nerve fibres
(A-delta fibres and C fibres) to the spinal cord and brainstem
and then onto the brain where the sensation of pain is
registered, the information is processed and the pain is
perceived.
The gate theory says that as these pain messages come
into the spinal cord and the central nervous system (before they
even get to the brain), they can be amplified, turned down or
even blocked out.There are many accounts of how people injured on
the battlefield or in sports games don’t feel any pain from their
injuries until afterwards. This has to do with the brain being
busy doing other things and shutting the gate until it can pay
attention to the messages.
Large diameter nerve fibres (A-beta fibres) responsible for
transmitting signals of touch to the brain have the ability to
close the pain gate and so block signals from other smaller
diameter nerve fibres which transmit pain.
An example of this would be when a child falls over and
hurts their knee *-if they rub the knee, the signal from that
sensation of touch temporarily blocks the pain signal travelling
from the injured knee to the brain.
TENS Features:
1. Operate easily.
2. Unique pulsed waveform to
provide soft and comfortable treatment experience.
3. Electrodes with heating
function and adjustable intensity of treatment.
4. Silicon electrodes with
durability and safety.
5. Multiple prescription
programs for different treatment purposes.
6. Treatment modes can be
selected based on the treated part.
7.The built-in treatment programs
can be selected in a one-touch auto-therapy.
TENS Applications:
1. Relaxation of Muscle spasm.
2.Prevention or Retardation of disuse atrophy.
3.Increasing local blood circulation.
4.Muscle re-education.
5.Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles
to
6.Prevent venous thrombosis.
7.Maintaining or increasing range of motion.
TENS caution:
1. if you have a pacemaker
fitted or you have a severe heart disorder;
2. if you have epilepsy and
you are using the machine alone;
3. if you are in the first
trimester of pregnancy (at least not around the
abdomen);
4. over the front of your
neck or over your face;
5. over an area of broken
skin; and if you have a cochlear implant hearing
device.
6. Always check with your
doctor if you are thinking of using TENS or any other form of
self-treatment.
