  1. Omronhealthcare-ap.com(PH) Tens Treatment for Back Pain In our day to day life, we all encounter muscular pain due to some reason or the other. It could be sports, bad posture, long working hours, age, or an accident. Muscular pain can be very unnerving as its hampers normal movement. But the most problematic of all is a nasty back pain which obstructs everything from sitting, standing, bending and waking. There are many kinds of treatments prescribed by the doctors for back pain. There are ointments, gels, sprays, tablets, massage, etc. which claim to give relief from pain. The latest development in this field is the heat treatment through gentle and safe electric devices. This is called the TENS treatment or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation treatment which works on muscular pains and stiff joints. TENS is a drug free therapy. It does not involve any kind of medicine. It applies the technique of electric nerve stimulation to give relief from pain. TENS treatment for back pain massages the affected area gently through soft pulses which gives relief from pain and stiffness. There are two methods of using the TENS treatment – the Standard High Frequency Treatment and Low Frequency Treatment. In the Standard High Frequency treatment, the electric signal produced blocks the pain signal sent by the body to the brain. The pulse signal is stronger than the signal of the body which makes it work effectively in blocking the body signal. The pulse rate of the TENS device is set to 60 pulses per second or more as may be needed. When switched on, it produces a buzz sound and a tingling feeling between the electrodes. Such treatment is ideal for acute pains. In the Low Frequency Treatment, the pulse rate is set to 10 pulses per second. It produces muscle twitching and a pulsating feeling. As a result of this external stimulus, the body reacts by releasing the pain killing chemical called Endorphin which acts as a chemical nerve block. In this way the body’s signal to the rain is blocked. This treatment is effective in cases of chronic pain, stiffness and occasional numbness. TENS treatment devices come in many specifications to suit different requirements. You can log on to the internet and find the one most suitable for you.
