Have chronic pain? Why not try a tens machine as a drug free alternative
Getting persistent pain in the same muscle is irritating. Recently one of our clients continually got lower back pain, despite the pain killers he was given by his doctor he still had trouble sleeping, and was off work for a number of weeks. He was recommended by a friend to try Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.
Well he informed us that almost instantly from turning the machine on, the pain subsided. They work by blocking out the pain signals to the brain. The tens machines are so small that you can keep them in your pocket whilst in use, and the best thing is that you can’t have too much. Obviously advise your doctor first that you are intending using a tens machine, but our client didn’t have a bad word to say about them.
We had a look into tens, as it was quite new to use, and we were surprised to learn that they have many different uses. A Tens muscle stimulator is basically the same as a tens machine, but they are used by athletes to basically workout when they have an injury. We were also surprised to learn that you can get pregnancy tens machines to help reduce pain in child birth, which are quite popular as they are a drug free pain relief method. Amazing.
