Pain Relief Without Drugs

Blood Pressure Remedy Report Review More and more people are turning to small compact electronic devices like TENs machines to bring them pain relief without having to depend on drugs that can often have varying side effects. What is TENs, how does it work and what sort of pain relief can it be used for? TENs stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation where transcutaneous means through the skin. A TENs machine produces small electrical impulses which are transmitted from the machine through the skin by means of a wire connected to a small conductive patch which is placed on the skin.

It is these electrical impulses which effectively close the gate to normal pain signals going to the brain resulting in pain reliefTENs machines are believed to work in a two ways. The small electrical signal they transmit blocks pain signals from the body's sensory nerves to the brain. The signals generated by the TENs machines can also encourage your body to release endorphins, natures own pain relieving "feel good" hormone. A study in Sweden showed that backache is one type of pain which was best treated with the use of TENS machines.

The same study also showed that TENS machines were the only painkillers required by 70 per cent of women in labour.More recently some TENs machines are now available with an electrical probe which can be used to stimulate acupuncture points to bring pain relief. While almost all TENs machines have cautions about placing the electrode pads on the head and neck these "accu TENs" machines will permit users to stimulate the accu points or channels elsewhere on the body to bring relief to head or neck pain.
