How does TENS work?
Promed tens 1000 s works by passing harmless electrical
signals into the body from the electrode pads. This relieves pain in
two ways:
• Firstly, it blocks the body's pain signals which are normally
transmitted from the area of damage through the nerve fibres to
the brain - TENS interrupts these pain signals.
• Secondly, TENS stimulates the body's production of endorphins
– its own natural painkillers.

medical indications or the following complaints as a TENS unit for
