How does a Chattanooga Continuum Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulator
?
- TENS unit effectively provides relief from pain caused by trauma or continual strain.
- The TENS muscle stimulator for pain primarily works by breaking the cycle of pain. When in pain, our body’s natural defense response to immobilize the painful area by tightening the muscles kicks in.
- The tightening of muscles hinders blood circulation in the affected area.
- The decrease in the supply of oxygenated blood leads to a decrease in the rate of metabolism.
- TENS pain management therapy (Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulator) breaks this cycle of pain and makes the healing process efficient.
