TENS Machine for Arthritis Pain
A PORTABLE, DRUG-FREE OPTION FOR MANAGING ARTHRITIS PAIN
Living with arthritis can mean dealing with ongoing joint pain that affects everyday activities, movement and comfort.
A TENS machine (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) provides a portable, drug-free option that may help some people manage arthritis pain. Small electrical impulses are delivered through electrode pads placed on the skin around the painful area, stimulating the nerves and helping to reduce the perception of pain.
TENS can be used at home and may be suitable for managing pain in areas commonly affected by arthritis, including the knees, hips, hands, shoulders and lower back.
TECHNOLOGY THAT COMBINES PAIN MANAGEMENT AND MUSCLE STIMULATION
Our TENS/EMS machines offer DUAL FUNCTIONALITY, giving you both TENS and EMS functions in one device.

PORTABLE PAIN MANAGEMENT AT HOME OR ON THE GO
Our TENS machines are compact and portable, allowing you to use your device at home or take it with you when travelling.
TENS doesn't treat the underlying cause of arthritis, and results vary between individuals. However, some people find TENS useful as one part of their overall arthritis pain-management approach.
USING TENS SAFELY
TENS should feel comfortable rather than painful. Do not place electrode pads over broken or irritated skin, the head, front of the neck or other unsuitable areas.
TENS may not be appropriate for everyone, including some people with implanted electrical devices such as pacemakers. If you are using TENS for the first time, have a new or unexplained pain, or are unsure whether TENS is suitable for you, seek advice from your doctor, physiotherapist or other healthcare professional.
TENS is intended to assist with pain management and does not treat or cure arthritis.
