Are you treating your chronic pain with TENS therapy, but you can't afford a TENS unit for your home? Learn how to get a TENS unit covered by insurance.
TENS therapy, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation therapy, is a non-invasive and low-risk device that uses electric currents to stimulate nerves to relieve pain conditions. Electrodes placed on the skin near the affected area send impulses of varying frequency and intensity to treat either short term or chronic pain. It is a great pain management alternative for those who are wary of drugs or other possibly addictive painkilling methods.
as i stated earlier, i cant start using this until i take the Kaiser class on how to use it for my conditon - the earliest date they had was 6/18. So i dont knwo yet what i think of it & wont know until end of next month.
First time use helped relieve a portion of my pain. 1 hour and I was able to stand almost upright for a few moments. However, pain was back shortly thereafter. Will use 2-3 times daily.
