TENS

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) therapy is a widely used technique for pain relief, utilizing low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate sensory nerves. Many of the best physiotherapists in Ahmedabad incorporate TENS as part of their treatment plans to help patients manage pain effectively. This method works by activating the pain gate mechanism and the opioid system, providing significant relief for various musculoskeletal conditions. If you’re seeking expert physiotherapy care, consulting experienced professionals in Ahmedabad can ensure the best use of TENS therapy for your needs.

TENS units may help treat the following symptoms:

Period pain
Labor pain
Postoperative pain
Joint pain
Neck and back pain
Endometriosis
Arthritis
Sports injuries
Multiple sclerosis

Fibromyalgia
Painful diabetic neuropathy
Spinal cord injury
Peripheral artery disease
Chronic pelvic pain
Bursitis
Low back pain
Tendinitis

Contraindications

Patients who do not comprehend the physiotherapist’s instructions or who are unable to co-operate
It has been widely cited that application of the electrodes over the trunk, abdomen or pelvis during pregnancy is contraindicated BUT a recent review suggests that although not an ideal (first line) treatment option, application of TENS around the trunk during pregnancy can be safely applied, and no detrimental effects have been reported in the literature
TENS during labour for pain relief is both safe and effective

Precautions

If there is abnormal skin sensation, the electrodes should preferably be positioned elsewhere to ensure effective stimulation
Electrodes should not be placed over the eyes
Patients who have epilepsy should be treated at the discretion of the therapist in consultation with the appropriate medical practitioner as there have been anecdotal reports of adverse outcomes, most especially (but not exclusively) associated with treatments to the neck and upper thoracic areas
Avoid active epiphyseal regions in children (though there is no direct evidence of adverse effect)
The use of abdominal electrodes during labour may interfere with foetal monitoring equipment and is therefore best avoided.
