Electrotherapy, also known as TENS, is a drug-free, non-invasive therapy designed to reduce and relieve numbness in the arms, legs adn foot by applying electrical nerve stimulation to the surface of the skin near the site of the pain.

Scientific theory suggests TENS can work in several ways, including: the pulses can block the pain message from reaching the brain, the stimulation triggers the body to produce more endorphins (a natural pain killer) or the therapy improves blood circulation.

This therapy works best on acute pain versus chronic pain, which is more serious.
