Chronic pain can be managed effectively in many instances by electrotherapy. Typically, chronic pain is caused by an accident or injury. It can also be the result of a chronic illness. It can be found in virtually any area of the body; however, some common areas are the back, knee, and shoulder. A TENS 7000 unit can be highly beneficial to those dealing with chronic pain.
A TENS unit is a device that makes use of tiny amounts of electric current. The acronym TENS stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator. The unit delivers the mild currents through electrodes that are attached to the person's skin. This kind of electrotherapy specifically targets only the region in which the patient's worst pain is felt.
Such machines are usually recommended by those employed at pain clinics. Healthcare practitioners such as physical therapists, as well as sports coaches, may also recommend their use. The person's level of pain is usually relieved immediately when the device is attached, and it can be used continuously or intermittently. Most people report substantial relief from their symptoms when such a device is used.
TENS machines provide electrical stimulation to the nerves underneath one's skin. The nerves will be highly stimulated wherever the electrodes are placed. In most cases, painful sensations abruptly stop or significantly decrease when the device is in use.
The amount of relief one receives from his or her pain varies considerably from one patient to the next, depending on a variety of factors such as the cause of his or her pain, how long the machine is used, and which mode of therapy one selects. Many patients experience relief that extends far beyond the specific time period for which they used the device. This is very beneficial to most individuals. However, in certain cases, relief is only experienced when the device is running, although this is much more rare.
The aforementioned devices are capable of providing the benefits listed above, whether they are used in the patient's own home or in a pain clinic. The patient can adjust the level of stimulation. Low intensity or high intensity modes can be chosen, depending on the preferences of the user and his or her health care practitioner's recommendations. A bit of trial and error may be necessary way before one discovers the most effective way to use the device.
High frequency stimulation is known as traditional. An individual can typically tolerate it for extended periods of time; however, the pain relief only lasts for a short time after the machine is turned off. Low-frequency stimulation is usually tolerable for only half an hour at a time, as it can be a bit uncomfortable. However, it provides pain relief for a longer period of time.
The most common treatments for chronic pain are over-the-counter medications or prescription drugs. As well as being costly, however, such drugs are associated with negative side effects, such as tolerance, sleepiness, and dizziness. A TENS 7000 device by contrast, provides relief for back pain, osteoarthritis, joint inflammation, tendinitis, sciatica, and other kinds of chronic pain without the need for medication. Such therapy is also very affordable, making it an excellent choice for virtually anyone suffering from painful conditions.
