Physical therapists have been using the
combination of heat and TENS for decades.
The HEAT warms and relaxes the muscle
for soothing relief while improving the blood
circulation. TENS provides pain relief and
has a triple effect:
1. Blocks the pain message towards the
brain.
2. Increases the production of the body’s
natural pain killer, such as endorphins.
3. Improves the blood circulation (as result
of repeated muscle contracting and
relaxing).

The long-term effects of electrical
stimulation are unknown.
TENS is not effective in treating the
original source or cause of the pain,
including headache.
TENS is not a substitute for pain
medications and other pain management
therapies.
TENS is a symptomatic treatment and,
as such, suppresses the sensation of
pain that would otherwise serve as a
protective mechanism.
