The Different Types of Electrical Stimulation
TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, also known as TENS, is mainly used for cases of chronic and short-term pain. Electrodes are placed on the skin, where low-voltage electrical currents are delivered to block pain signals and stimulate endorphin release. This can be very effective at promoting comfort and relief.
EMS
Also referred to as Electrical Muscle Stimulation, EMS has a different application. It focuses on muscle activation and recovery. Electrical currents stimulate the contraction of muscles, which improves their strength and enhances circulation, contributing to a more effective healing process.
