November 30th 2011 04:29
As we grow older, our body experiences so many physical changes. Its common to wake up in the morning feeling some pain on some parts of our body. This maybe due to the strenous activity we did the day before, the heavy load that we needed to lift or may also due to an underlying health problem. In most cases, pain comes with old age.
TENS machines have become popular nowadays as an effective drug free method to control pain. TENS which means transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is safe and easy to use even without prescription. For a TENS machine to work, electrodes are then placed unto the skin which stimulates the nerves caused by a small electrical pulse. This results to blocking impulses to the brain. These blocked impulses are supposed to be the ones transmitting pain messages to the brain. The low pulse rate also helps stimulate the production of endorphins in the body. Endorphines are the body's pain suppressing hormones.
There are a wide range of TENS machines for sale that you can use at home ranging from the very simple ones to more advanced dual channel machines. Some more advanced machines also include muscle stimulation functionality. These units are recommended to be used for twenty to thirty minutes. At this time, the pain is blocked by the electrical impulses. This pain relief continues as the body produces the pain suppressing hormones endorphins.
