TensTherapy - Alternative Mesothelioma Treatments
Tens(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a type of alternative therapy that focuses on energy. Using many of the same ideas as massage and acupuncture, Tens therapists place electrodes on the skin in certain locations - either on special points on the body or where the patient is experiencing pain. From a small battery pack, electrical shocks are sent through the body that relieve pain and help with other medical conditions.
Unlike some other forms of alternative medicine, Tens therapy has been proven to work for many patients. Tens therapy has the potential to help relieve pain in two main ways. First, electrical signals send messages to the brain to produce more endorphins. Endorphins are natural chemicals produced by the body that produce feelings of euphoria. Additionally, the electrical signals can send messages to the brain that block pain messages.
