TENS unit
The TENS unit has become a popular toy in today's BDSM scene. While we do not recommend any particular manufacturer, we feel the information provided here is useful in learning the intricacies and function of the TENS unit. It does not, however, discuss placement and the possible dangers of currents being used in the body. Care must be especially taken in the area around the heart and chest. Please be responsible in its use and educate yourself.
- Introduction
TENS is an acronym for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. TENS is widely recognized as an effective method of relieving chronic and acute pain. The AdvanTeq TENS Series was developed by AdvanTeq to bring to the medical community an easy-to-use two-channel TENS device with a wide variety of treatment parameters. This gives the medical professional a greater ability to reduce and relieve your pain.
TENS sends tiny electrical impulses through the skin to the nerves lying directly beneath the skin surface. These impulses help to block the body's ability to send a pain message to your brain and increase the body's ability to produce its own pain-killing substances, called endorphins.
It should be noted that TENS does not stop the pain in 100% of the situations in which it is employed (neither does any other pain reliever). In the majority of situations in which it does produce pain relief, it does not mean that the underlying cause has been cured. The patient is expected to maintain contact with their prescribing professional until the underlying cause of the pain is resolved.
Remember that the presence of pain is not necessarily bad. Pain provides a very useful function of warning us that something is wrong. Because of this warning, it is mandatory that you have seen a health professional to obtain a prescription for this unit. In doing so, you and your clinician will be able to identify what is causing the pain and by working together, you can utilize your TENS to control the pain during the healing process.
Read this manual carefully and listen to your professional as to how they want you to utilize this instrument. Properly used, you will be able to control your pain without any of the risks and side effects of pain-relieving drugs.
