How a TENS Unit Works?

The Benefits of iReliev TENS Unit are Explained Based on 3 Theories:
Gateway Control Theory
The non-painful signals from TENS “close the gate” and prevent the pain signals from going to the brain. Imagine that these signals are two trains on separate tracks. Each of these two tracks converges into one single track that goes to the brain. The train on the right is the pain signal, and it’s headed for that single track to the brain. But, when the non-painful signal is stimulated-the train on the left-it heads for that same track to the brain, taking over the tracks and preventing the pain signal from getting through.
Endorphin Production Theory
The other explanation for the effectiveness of electrotherapy as a pain reliever was the observation that the TENS treatment released endorphins, the body’s natural opiate-like painkiller. Often endorphins is referred to as the bodies “feel good chemical”.
Central Inhibitory Effect Theory
This means that TENS changes the way our bodies transmit different signals, which could ultimately mean that TENS changes the way we feel pain.

I treated myself with this for my GERD, it worked!

I use the 7070 for Cspine and it's a godsend.

If you think TENS is good, then check out TWENTIES!

Thanks dad

It would seem to me that someone who has a tens would not take baths based on the common knowledge of basic electricity The more water that gets into electrodes, the more chances of accidental electrocution. It would seem to me that abnormal cells would be reproduced. The blood ratio for a tens unit actually includes three factors and not two. The respiratory, which represents thymocytes. The pulse which represents hemoglobin and blood temperature which represents blood pressure itself.

No one's using these in a bath tub

[@ItsAMissTree]

Nobody taking a bath with this..... its not permanent, its like thick stickers

[@aw1043]

I darn near electrocuted myself

Start low. If it's high enough to cause actual muscle contractions, it's too high.
