Pain relief with the EM 29 stimulation device
How does electrical muscle stimulation work?
The knee and elbow TENS works on the basis of electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). TENS, or transcutaneous
electrical nerve stimulation, relates to the electrical stimulation of the nerves through the skin. TENS is an effec-
tive non-pharmacological method of treating different types of pain that have a variety of causes. It has no side-
effects if administered correctly. The method has been clinically tested and approved and can be used for simple
self-treatment. The pain-relieving or pain-suppressing effect is achieved by inhibiting the transference of pain
to nerve fibres (caused mainly by high-frequency impulses) and by increasing the secretion of endorphins in the
body. Their effect on the central nervous system reduces the sensation of pain. This method is clinically tested
and approved. Any symptoms that could be relieved using TENS must be checked by your GP. Your doctor will
also give you instructions on how to carry out a TENS self-treatment regime.
