however, in most patients it is effective in reducing or eliminating
the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity.

HOW TENS WORKS

There is nothing "magic" about Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve
Stimulation (TENS). TENS is intended to be used to relieve pain.
The TENS unit sends comfortable impulses through the skin that
stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In many
cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain
sensation the patient feels. Pain relief varies by individual patient,
mode selected for therapy, and the type of pain. In many patients,
the reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual
period of stimulation (sometimes as much as three to four times
longer). In others, pain is only modified while stimulation actually
occurs. You may discuss this with your physician or therapist.
EXPLANATION OF EMS
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is an internationally accepted
and proven way of treating muscular injuries. It works by sending
electronic pulses to the muscle needing treatment; this causes the
muscle to exercise passively. It is a product derived from the
square waveform, originally invented by John Faraday in 1831.
Through the square wave pattern it is able to work directly on
muscle motor neurons. This device has low frequency and this in
conjunction with the square wave pattern allows direct work on
muscle groupings. This is being widely used in hospitals and
sports clinics for the treatment of muscular injuries and for the re
education of paralyzed muscles, to prevent atrophy in affected
muscles and improving muscle tone and blood circulation.

HOW EMS WORKS

The EMS units send comfortable impulses through the skin that
stimulate the nerves in the treatment area. When the muscle
receives this signal it contracts as if the brain has sent the signal
itself. As the signal strength increases, the muscle flexes as in
