Tens Unit

A Tens device stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. A portable tens unit applies electrical current, which travels through the skin for acute or chronic pain control. A digital tens unit is often prescribed for neck pain, back pain, osteoarthritis and pain after some types of surgery. Electrodes connect to the skin to help pass the current through the skin.

An Electronic Muscular Stimulator (EMS) unit is effective for patients experiencing chronic headaches and muscle tension in the upper back and neck. The Electronic Muscular Stimulator is used in physical therapy to reduce muscle spasms, re-educate the muscles, increase the patient’s range of motion and improve blood circulation.

A portable tens unit can be used in constant, synchronous or alternation modes, depending on the application. Preset programs allow the frequency and pulse width of the electrical current to be adjusted to treat the pain that results from a variety of conditions and to fit the needs of each patient. Each digital tens unit has slightly different features. Every Reliamed tens device has a patient compliance feature, so doctors can monitor the usage of the tens device.
