For those in chronic pain, non-invasive and non-pharma-cological modalities are often requested before surgery and medication management. Tran-scutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) units are a non-invasive, non-pharmacolog-ical method to aiding in control-ling chronic pain.
The use of electrical stimula-tion to control pain dates back to ancient Greece, where the use of electrical fi sh was recorded by physician and pharmacolo-gist Scribonius Largus. The technology has improved greatly since then, and TENS units are prescribed often to chronic pain patients.
Consisting of a portable battery pack connected to two or more electrodes, TENS unit users are educated on their use in the offi ce, and then are allowed to take them home. Electrodes are attached to the skin, delivering small electrical impulses to the nerves beneath the skin. These small electrical im-pulses not only create endorphins, the body’s natural pain reliever, but also have been shown to stop pain signals from traveling to the brain.
TENS units can be used during acupuncture (electroacupuncture).
Similar to basic acupuncture, steri-lized, single-use, fi ne-gauge needles are inserted in points strategic to your pain. Dissimilar to basic acu-puncture, however, the needles are attached to the TENS unit, which controls the pulse intensity and frequency depending on the pain
condition being treated.
TENS units have shown useful for those with chronic neck pain, back pain, and sciatica, includ-ing a host of other chronic pain conditions.
