Electronic Pain Relief (TENS & EMS)
Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) can be used to treat arthritis pain using small electrical pulses. They offer a way to manage symptoms and make your joints work better.
TENS (Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machines use a small, battery-powered device (wired or wireless) to send gentle electrical currents through pads placed on your skin, usually near the painful area.
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) sends electrical pulses directly to your muscles. This makes them contract and relax. TENS focuses on nerves for pain relief, but EMS works by activating muscles.
