Description
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) adhesive pads are small, electrode pads used with TENS units. These pads are typically placed directly on the skin over the area where pain relief or muscle stimulation is desired. They are designed to deliver electrical impulses generated by the TENS unit to the nerves and muscles beneath the skin.
Key Characteristics:
- Electrode Functionality: They conduct electrical impulses from the TENS unit to the body.
- Adhesive Backing: Allows them to stick securely to the skin during therapy sessions.
- Reusable: Many pads are designed for multiple uses, with proper care and maintenance.
- Variety of Sizes: Available in different shapes and sizes to accommodate various treatment areas.
Common Uses:
- Pain Relief: Helps manage chronic or acute pain conditions by interfering with pain signals to the brain.
- Muscle Stimulation: Used for physical therapy to improve muscle function and reduce muscle spasms.
Considerations:
- Skin Sensitivity: It’s essential to use pads appropriate for your skin type to avoid irritation.
- Maintenance: Proper cleaning and storage can prolong the life of the pads.
These pads play a crucial role in the effectiveness of TENS therapy, providing a non-invasive and drug-free option for pain management and muscle rehabilitation.
