TENS Machine

TENS machine pain relief is offered in this easy-to-use unit, which can treat two pain areas at once. A health TENS machine offers a drug-free alternative for back pain, headaches, sciatica and period pains - a powerful remedy relief from pain.

This is a high-quality 1st Choice Plus TENS machine. This TENS machine allows you easily to vary the pulse width, use burst mode (where the pulse goes on and off at set intervals), modulation (increasing and decreasing the pulse width in regular cycles) or continuous, so that you can adjust the TENS pulse sensation so it is right for you.

Try this alternative pain relief method, without the side effects of drugs.

Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. Soothing pulses are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses (controlled by the user at all times) 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. Electrode placement charts are included for: 

• Back pain - sciatica, ankylosing spondylitis, upper back pain, lower back pain, etc.
• Neck and shoulder pain - whiplash, frozen shoulder, etc.
• Leg pain - hip pain, knee, pain, ankle pain, foot pain, Achilles tendon problems, phantom limbs, etc.
• Arm and shoulder pain - tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, carpel tunnel syndrome, hand and finger pain, etc.
