TENS Big Pads

NEUROMUSCULAR RESPONSE

When the body experiences persistent pain, the nervous system can become locked in a cycle of continuous distress signals. This heightened state keeps muscles tense and guarded, disrupting natural movement patterns and slowing down the recovery process. The communication between the nerves and the brain becomes focused on the sensation of pain, making it difficult for the body to relax and heal.

TENS therapy works by intelligently interrupting this cycle. The TENS Big Pads deliver precise, low-frequency electrical impulses that stimulate the sensory nerves in the affected area. According to the gate control theory of pain, these gentle electrical signals travel to the brain faster than pain signals, effectively closing the "gate" and blocking the perception of discomfort. At the same time, this stimulation encourages the body to release its own natural pain-relieving chemicals, known as endorphins.

The result is a dual-action response that calms the nervous system. Pain is not just masked; its signaling pathway is actively managed, allowing tense muscles to relax and circulation to improve. This process helps restore a balanced state, shifting the body from guarding against pain to actively recovering. The secure adhesion and consistent conductivity of the TENS Big Pads ensure these restorative signals are delivered effectively, providing a reliable foundation for neuromuscular relief and recovery.
