PL009-EV Electronic Pulse Massager

A: An Electronic Pulse Massager, also known as a TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) unit, works by delivering low-level electrical impulses to the muscles through electrode pads placed on the skin. The TENS unit generates electrical impulses or pulses. These pulses are low-frequency and low-intensity electrical currents. The electrical impulses generated by the TENS unit stimulate the nerves in the targeted area. This stimulation has several effects, thus work to alleviate muscle pain or discomfort: Pain Gate Control Theory: TENS is based on the "gate control theory" of pain. According to this theory, the electrical impulses from the TENS unit can interfere with and block the pain signals traveling to the brain. This is achieved by stimulating non-painful nerve fibers, which essentially "closes the gate" and prevents pain signals from reaching the brain. Release of Endorphins: The electrical stimulation may also trigger the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. Endorphins can help reduce the perception of pain and promote a sense of well-being. Muscle Relaxation: The stimulation provided by the TENS unit can also cause muscle contractions and relaxations. This can help reduce muscle tension and spasms, providing relief from muscle pain. Increased Blood Circulation: The electrical impulses may promote better blood circulation in the targeted area. Improved blood flow can contribute to the healing process and reduce inflammation.
