TENS is short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.  The TENS generates electrical impulses that are sent through electrodes placed over nerve centers. The various pulses employed by TENS can block pain signals normally sent to the brain through nerve fibers, thereby interrupting the brain's awareness of pain.  The TENS may activate the release of endorphins.  These are chemicals in the control system used by the body to suppress pain naturally.  It is no longer necessary for many people to endure chronic or constant pain.  The use of TENS usually improves pain management significantly.  TENS is safe, non-invasive, drug free, and is non-addictive . The TENS can reduce the need for pain narcotics and drugs.  TENS or EMS should not be used with a cardiac pacemaker, over the eyelids, on the head or on the front on the neck.  Please consult with a physician before using a TENS or an EMS.  

TENS works by two different methods.  Mild electrical activity blocks the pain signal traveling to the brain.  If the pain signal does not get through to the brain, the pain is not "felt".  The second way TENS works is by stimulating the body's own natural pain-control mechanism.  Low frequency or short bursts of electrical activity causes the body to release its own pain relieving substances, called endorphins.  TENS increases blood flow and circulation to the affected area.  Common candidates for TENS include:  arthritis, osteoarthritis, cervical spondylosis, low back pain, fibrositis/myofascial pain syndrome, acute sprains/strains, sports injuries, tendonitis/bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, radiculopathy, peripheral nerve injuries, post operative pain, spinal cord disorders and for pain in the terminally ill.

1. Relaxation of muscle spasm
2. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
3. Increasing local blood circulation
4. Muscle re-education
5. Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
6. Maintaining or increasing range of motion 

How does the EMS work?

Using EMS, the brain sends a nerve impulse to the "motor point" of your muscle.  This signal is a message to the muscles to expand and contract.  Electrodes are placed over the motor points of the muscle group to be exercised.  When the stimulation is applied through the pads, the signal finds it way to these motor points and causes the muscle to expand and contract.  This makes it possible to duplicate conventional exercise.

During an exercise, your brain sends a message down the spinal cord through the nerves with all the muscles you're using that causes them to relax and contract.  This is called voluntary muscle action.  Your brain is controlling the muscle.  

Electrical muscle stimulation uses an outside electrical source that stimulates the nerves to send signals to your muscle to expand and contract.  This is done by sending electrical current through self adhesive electrodes placed over the muscle.  The current passes through your skin to the nerves in that area, causing the muscle to expand and contract. 

Studies have shown that EMS stimulates large nerve axons (long outgrowths of a nerve cell body), some of which you cannot stimulate voluntarily.  It is possible that EMS might allow for additional muscle hypertrophy (increased development of tissue by enlargement, without multiplication of cells).

EMS can increase muscle hypertrophy (growth), endurance and strength.  EMS may be used only for this or with regular weight training by aiding recovery and helping muscles grow and get stronger.  EMS can increase body temperature, heart rate and metabolism (promoting energy and fat absorption from the body).
