TENS, transcutaneous electro-nerve stimulators, have been shown to help patients with:

T.E.N.S. - a transcutaneous electro-nerve stimulator; pain control that goes where you do. It is a small medical device slightly larger than a beeper that attaches to your pants or belt and helps alleviate pain while you wear it.

T.E.N.S. units have been dispensed by doctors to their patients for years as a drug free alternative for pain relief. They operate on a 9v. transistor battery and have small wires and pads that adhere to a painful area to alleviate pain.

Tiny free nerve endings secrete a chemical called "substance P" that transmits pain signals to our brain. T.E.N.S. units artificially stimulate free nerve endings, thereby depleting them of substance P, literally stopping the pain signal in its tracks.

 We have hundreds of patients using this system all over the country and it is a proven winner. It's dependable, long lasting and compact.

Thousands of these units have sold for $500 or more, well worth the price. Now thanks to the Internet, we can offer these systems directly to the public at a greatly reduced cost.
