Here Are the Benefits of Using a TENS Unit for Muscles
Whether it’s the result of a good workout, an injury or personal pain issues, we’ve all experienced bouts of muscle pain. Using a TENS unit for muscles can help in a variety of different circumstances. But what does TENS do for our muscles? What are the functions that allow it to help temporarily relieve pain? This information can be valuable for those who workout regularly, those looking to get into better shape or those who suffer from pain. With that, here is a breakdown of what TENS therapy does to the muscles in our body.
The Technology Behind a TENS Unit
In order to understand how TENS machines like DR-HO’S Pain Therapy System Pro interact with the muscles, it’s first important to recall how TENS therapy works. TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy gently stimulates the muscles and nerves to temporarily relieve pain and help increase local blood circulation. By stimulating your healthy muscles, TENS units can improve and facilitate improved muscle performance.
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
The Pain Therapy System Pro combines the benefits TENS therapy and Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). EMS plays a significant role in how this TENS unit can help stimulate muscles after a workout or otherwise. Even though The Pain Therapy System Pro combines TENS and EMS, the two therapies serve different purposes. Whereas TENS helps temporarily relieve muscle pain through stimulating the nerves, EMS can help stimulate muscles to temporarily increase local circulation. The goal of this muscle stimulation is to get the muscle to contract and release in constantly changing patterns.
Whether it’s to address post-workout pain, or nagging pain issues, here are some ways a combined EMS and TENS unit helps the muscles:
A TENS Unit Can Temporarily Increase Local Circulation
As the Pain Therapy System Pro releases its gentle electrical impulses to stimulate the muscle fibres, the targeted muscles will contract and release. This repetitive action works to temporarily increase local circulation.
Healthy circulation is key for an overall healthy body. Blood flow helps transport oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues that need it. This includes muscles after a workout. When oxygenated blood effectively flows to the muscle, it helps to provide nutrients and oxygen to the overworked muscle.
A TENS Unit Can Help Temprarily Ease Pain After a Workout
Muscle soreness after a workout is very normal. As we workout, we put strain and stress on our muscles. Because TENS therapy is first and foremost about temporary pain management, The Pain Therapy System is an excellent way to temporarily relieve muscle pain after a workout.
As mentioned earlier, waves of gentle electric current travel along the nerve fibres causing the muscles and contract and relax resulting in temporary increase of local blood circulation. Our Auto-Modulating Waveforms constantly change patterns, which provides over 300 auto-modulating frequencies and wavelengths that mimic a massage like treatment to temporarily relieve your pain. The Pain Therapy System stimulates healthy muscles in order to improve and facilitate muscle performance making this an ideal post-workout pain management routine.
A TENS Unit Can Reduce Muscle Pain
Muscle pain occurs when the muscles stay in a contracted position for a long period of time. It can cause discomfort and greatly affect a person’s day.
DR-HO’S TENS units can temporarily help with sore and achy muscles. The consistent contracting and relaxing action both soothes and exercises sore and achy muscles, helping them to relax.
EMS Can Stimulate Healthy Muscles In Order to Improve and Facilitate Muscle Performance.
Health professionals have traditionally used TEN / EMS combination units in physical therapy to help temporarily relieve muscle pain and pain from arthritis. This is because it is an effective way to stimulate muscles and increase temporary local circulation. The auto-modulating stimulation temporarily increases local circulation in the muscles to improve muscle performance.
