Back Pain Relief with a TENS Unit


Back Pain: What is it?


back pain Back pain can affect any part of the back. It is often divided into two areas of concern lower and upper back Pain.

The usual causes of back pain is muscle stress and strain but it can also originate from ligament, tendon or vertabrae damage, posture, feet positioning, poor muscle tone, muscle tension or spasm, sprains, and joint problems.

Both Upper and Lower back pain are often described in three categories. Acute when it has lated less than 6 weeks, Sub-acute if it has lasted between 6 - 12 weeks and chronic if it has lasted longer than 12 weeks.

back pain: does TENS work?

Naturally prevention is better than a cure. One should attempt to improve posture, keep fit and avoid carrying heavy loads. Treatments often include drugs and osteopathy. However, TENS can provide a useful pain killing alternative or complementary form of relief.

TENS or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free method of relief. It is ideal for the treatment of backpain. Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. TENS uses soothing pulses that are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalins.
