TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units offer drug-free pain relief used in clinics, physical therapy, and homecare. Choosing the right unit and keeping accessories stocked keeps therapy consistent. Here's an overview.
How TENS works
TENS delivers gentle electrical pulses through skin electrodes to help modulate pain signals. Units vary in channels, intensity, preset programs, and portability. Use should follow clinical guidance and the manufacturer's instructions.
Features to compare
- Channels & electrodes — more channels allow treating multiple areas.
- Preset programs & adjustability — ease of use for clinicians and patients.
- Portability & battery — for homecare and on-the-go use.
Don't forget the consumables
Electrode pads are the ongoing cost of TENS therapy — keep replacement pads and lead wires stocked so treatment is never interrupted.
