Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, commonly known as TENS Therapy, is a highly effective pain-relief treatment used in physiotherapy. It works by sending gentle electrical pulses through the skin using small, soft adhesive pads called electrodes. These electrical signals travel along nerve pathways and help reduce the feeling of pain. Since TENS does not involve medicines, injections, or surgery, it is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free method of managing pain for all age groups.
When you undergo TENS therapy, your physiotherapist will first identify the exact location of pain. Electrodes are then placed on that area or along the nerve route responsible for the pain. Once the TENS device is switched on, you feel a mild tingling sensation — never painful — as small electrical impulses start working inside the body. These impulses help block the pain signals from reaching the brain, which means less pain is felt. In addition to blocking pain, TENS also encourages the body to release endorphins, the natural chemicals responsible for relaxation and pain reduction. A typical treatment lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, and you may feel immediate comfort during and after therapy.
TENS Therapy can help in many pain-related and nerve-related conditions such as:
Back and neck pain
Shoulder or knee pain
Arthritis and joint stiffness
Sports injuries and muscle soreness
Tendonitis and bursitis

At VPHRC, our trained and experienced physiotherapists provide TENS therapy with complete safety and precision. Each patient receives a personalised treatment plan based on their pain condition and medical history. We combine TENS with various other physiotherapy techniques like manual therapy, stretching, strength training, taping, and ultrasound therapy to ensure faster and long-lasting recovery. We maintain a peaceful and hygienic environment so that every session feels comfortable and reassuring. Our focus is always to restore mobility, reduce pain, and bring patients back to a happy and active life.
Your therapist will begin with a quick assessment followed by placement of electrodes on the skin. When the machine starts, you will feel a light vibration or tingling sensation this means the therapy is working. The intensity is always kept at a level that feels comfortable for you. The session lasts around 15 to 30 minutes depending on the severity of pain. After therapy, your physiotherapist may guide you with simple movements or exercises that support your recovery.
TENS is generally safe for most people. However, those with heart-related implanted devices like pacemakers, pregnant women (especially on the abdomen), and people with open wounds in the treatment area should avoid this therapy unless advised by a professional. At VPHRC, before starting any therapy, we evaluate your condition thoroughly to ensure the treatment is suitable and completely safe for your body.
