TENS means “Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation” and is a well known therapy to reduce pain by gently stimulating nerves to block pain signals before they are received by the brain. Furthermore, the release of endorphins is activated. Endorphins are produced naturally in the body and have pain-relieving effects similar to morphine. They are distributed throughout the nervous system.
A similar therapy is called EMS, which stands for ”Electrical Muscle Stimulation”, which helps to activate muscles and increase motion as well as blood circulation. The Fit For Life Pain Controller combines both therapies and offers both, relief from pain as well as reduction of tension by stimulating muscles. However, as pain control is our predominant target, we consider our unit to foremost be a TENS device.
With traditional TENS therapy devices electrodes are placed directly on the skin either over the painful area or at key points along the nerve pathway. A small, battery-powered generator emits a milli-amp (one thousandth of an ampere) of electricity through lead wires to the electrodes. The sensation produced by the electrical stimulation appears to "override" the pain messages and may stimulate the body to produce its own natural morphine-like substance, the so called endorphins mentioned above. The Fit For Life Pain Controller is a “state-of-the-art’ TENS device, especially designed for athletes and people suffering from chronic pain and muscular tension in the lower back. Eight preset therapy programs make it easy to use; intensity and time of treatment can be adjusted to the user’s needs.
One of the most compelling reasons for prescribing TENS for pain relief is that this therapy has few, if any side effects. TENS is non-addictive, causes no drowsiness, and can be used indefinitely without the problems associated with prolonged drug use. The most common side effect reported has been skin irritation at the site of the electrode, due to either sensitiveness to the gels and adhesives used, or from minor burns, caused by extended stimulation. In order to avoid those side effects, it is important to carefully read the manual and to follow the instructions. And now we encourage you to order the Fit For Life Pain Controller. Let pain and tension disappear and get the fun back into the sports you enjoy.
