It works  on the principle of the gate control theory. One theory holds that it makes certain cells in the spinal cord less responsive to pain signals, blocking their transission to the brain; another that the electrical impulses stimulate the production of endorphins to block the perception of pain.

TENS is a useful therapy for certain types of pain, providing relief for 30 to 50 percent of sufferers of chronic pain. Recent developments mean that TENS devices are now available for home use.MOBILE MASSAGE THERAPY IN LONDON always with you.
