1. Explanation of Pain
Pain is a warning system, a way for the body to tell us that something is wrong. Pain is important, without it, abnormal conditions may go undetected, causing damage or injury to vital parts of our bodies. Even though pain is a necessary warning signal of trauma or malfunction in the body, nature may have gone too far in its design. Aside from its value in diagnosis, long-lasting persistent pain serves no useful purpose. Pain does not begin until coded message travels to the brain where it is decoded, analyzed, and then reacted to. The pain message travels from the injured area along the small nerves leading to the spinal cord. Here the message is switched to different nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain. The pain message is then interpreted, referred back and the pain is felt.
2. Explanation of TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive, drug-free method of pain control. TENS sends tiny electrical impulses through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problems, and it only helps control pain. TENS does not work for everyone, however, for most patients, it is effective in reducing or eliminating pain, allowing them to return to normal activities.
