TENS - Scandinavian Physiotherapy Center, Dubai

TENS

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a gentle electrotherapy treatment used by physiotherapists to relieve pain. It works by sending mild electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate sensory nerves, triggering the body’s natural pain-relief response. TENS is commonly used for musculoskeletal pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, shin splints, and restless leg syndrome. Safe and non-invasive, it helps reduce discomfort, improve circulation, and support recovery when integrated into a physiotherapy treatment plan.

Your physiotherapist will assess the affected area and apply the TENS pads to target the source of pain.
