 TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a small device that many people find effective in relieving pain. TENS has become a recognised and well-proven method of treating pain. Research, technology and quality engineering have made TENS a safe and highly effective pain relief system, recommended by Pain Clinics, doctors, maternity and physiotherapy departments throughout the UK and internationally.  What conditions can be relieved by TENS? TENS provides pain relief for a large variety of pain complaints. Commonly treated conditions include: How does TENS work? TENS relieves pain in two ways. Electrical pulses pass from the machine through electrodes placed over the nerve centres. Benefit is felt firstly by blocking the pain signals normally sent to the brain through the nerve fibres; thereby interrupting the brain's awareness of pain. Secondly, the body is stimulated to increase it's own production of natural painkillers known as endorphins and enkephalins.   Is TENS safe? TENS are non-invasive and safe to use.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation Treatment using NMS or EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) create involuntary muscle contractions thus minimising the degeneration changes in muscles that usually occur following immobilisation or partial denervation. Indications for Neuromuscular Stimulation Neuromuscular Stimulation is indicated for use in conditions that may result in: NMS is also indicated for: What conditions can benefited by using NMS?
