TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation ModalityTechnology Overview
TENS represents the cutting edge of rehabilitation technology utilized at Dr. Karolin Rockson PT. By integrating TENS into our evidence-based treatment plans, we can significantly accelerate tissue healing, reduce pain pathways, and enhance neuromuscular re-education beyond what traditional therapy alone can achieve.
How It Works (Clinical Mechanism)
TENS delivers mild electrical currents through surface electrodes to stimulate sensory nerves. The high-frequency (50–150 Hz) mode activates the pain gate mechanism in the spinal cord, while low-frequency (1–10 Hz) modes trigger endorphin release. This dual-action approach provides both immediate and cumulative pain relief without medication.
Clinical Indications
- •Acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain
- •Post-operative pain management
- •Labor pain and dysmenorrhea
- •Neuropathic pain (diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia)
- •Arthritis-related joint pain
- •Sports injuries and muscle strain
Contraindications
- •Cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator
- •Pregnancy (first trimester, abdominal application)
- •Epilepsy (electrode placement near head or neck)
- •Active malignancy in treatment area
- •Undiagnosed pain syndromes
- •Over the carotid sinus or laryngeal muscles
Clinical Expected Outcomes
Reduces pain scores by 40–60% in most chronic pain patients
Enables earlier mobilization after surgery or injury
Decreases reliance on opioid pain medications
Improves sleep quality in chronic pain sufferers
Provides drug-free pain control for home use
