What is TENS Therapy?

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) a safe, drug-free therapy that uses low-voltage electrical impulses to help relieve pain. Small electrode pads are placed on the skin over the area of discomfort, and gentle electrical pulses are delivered to stimulate the nerves and block pain signals from reaching the brain.

It’s commonly used for both acute and chronic pain, and many patients find it relaxing and effective—especially when paired with other treatments like chiropractic care or soft tissue therapy.

How TENS Can Help:

• Relieves muscle tension and spasms
• Reduces nerve-related pain
• Enhances circulation and healing
• Provides short-term pain relief during flare-ups
• Encourages natural endorphin release (your body’s own painkillers)

Common Conditions Treated:

• Low back pain
• Sciatica
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Joint pain (knees, hips, elbows)
• Arthritis
• Muscle strains or overuse
• Menstrual cramps
• Nerve-related pain or tingling

TENS therapy is gentle, adjustable, and well-tolerated by most people. It can be done in-office or prescribed for home use under guidance.
