The TENS machine works by placing pads near the sight of pain as electrical pulses run through the pads to the skin. The skin then supplies a series of nerve fibres that decrease pain signals sent to the brain. The intensity and location of electrical impulses is carefully decided to meet the needs of the patient, helping to produce greater levels of natural pain-killing chemicals known as endorphins, decreasing the perception of pain. The TENS unit sends impulses through wires connected to electrodes placed at pain sights on the body.
