What is TENS and how does a TENS machine work?

Electrode Sticky Pads are placed surrounding the area of pain. Soothing pulses are sent via the electrodes through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The TENS machine generates pulses (controlled by the user at all times) that suppress pain signals to the brain. TENS encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins.
