Whether you are experiencing back pain, neck pain, leg pain, shoulder pain or another type of pain, it is important that you seek the help of a pain management doctor. At our pain management clinic in Phoenix,we specialize in a wide variety of treatment options for numerous conditions. One of our treatment options includes TENS units.
TENS units is transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and is a battery-powered device made to relieve pain the back, neck, legs, arms, shoulders, and knees. This device transmits electrical pulses to your nerves. These electrical pulses help reduce the pain perceived by your brain. It also helps increase the endorphins in your body which is a natural pain killing chemical.
The TENS unit is applied by a pain management doctor at our pain clinic phoenix. They apply the electrodes near the area where you are experiencing pain. The pulses will then be sent through your skin to stimulate the specific nerves. Within approximately 30 minutes you should feel the effects.
Common conditions that a TENS unit might be used for at our Phoenix pain clinicis arthritis, sciatica, headaches, mid and upper back pain, sports injuries, shoulder pain and more. This treatment is not a permanent treatment to all conditions, but can help alleviate the pain almost immediately and get you back to your normal activities.
