6.5 Understanding TENS Operation
TENS therapy works primarily through two mechanisms:
- Pain Gate Theory: High-frequency TENS stimulation activates nerve fibers that block pain signals from reaching the brain, effectively "closing the pain gate."
- Endorphin Release: Low-frequency TENS stimulation promotes the body's natural production of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals.
