What is TENS?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) works
by passing mild electrical impulses through the skin, via
electrode pads, into the nerve fibres which lie below.
The TENS impulses help your body produce its own pain
killing chemicals, such as endorphins. The level of pain
relief obtained varies from person to person.
