The utilization of a TENS machine is not only an effective means of alleviating localized pain but also an efficient and safe alternative to conventional therapies for the relief of chronic or acute pain. Featuring a compact design, these devices provide transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) which can assist in inhibiting painful signals traveling from body parts such as backaches or arthritis. Moreover, they are also suitable for use during recovery after surgical procedures like amputations or reconstructive surgeries when patients require 'de-numbing' therapy - especially where there still may be residual discomfort associated with the healed injuries/wounds that remain unhealed.
