If you experience chronic low back pain with tight, achy muscles, a TENS unit may be right for you! The transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator is a device that helps increase blood flow, promotes soft tissue healing, and relaxes tight muscles. It is a noninvasive anti-inflammatory based treatment that disrupts and prevents pain signals from reaching the brain. TENS treatment is covered by most insurance plans. Talk to your pain specialist today to see if this device is right for you.
