TENS Units and Electrotherapy Devices

Drug-Free Relief Patients Control Themselves

A Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device interrupts the nerve signals that keep muscles in spasm. Providers prescribe TENS for back pain, migraine headaches, arthritis, knee and shoulder pain, post-surgical recovery, and other chronic pain conditions.

The unit is pocket-sized and battery or adapter powered, so patients can use it at home, at work, or on the road. The FDA recognizes TENS as a safe and effective method for managing chronic pain, and for many people it means relief without relying on addictive medication.
