Arthritis:

Arthritis is the inflammation of one or more joints of the body, usually producing pain, redness, and stiffness. Arthritis disables more people than any other chronic disorder. A common form is Osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease of the joints that commonly occurs with aging. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease of unknown cause, is a progressive, crippling joint disorder most common in women aged between 25 and 50.

Does Dr Tens Work for Arthritis?

Dr Tens or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a non-invasive, drug-free method of pain relief. It is ideal for the treatment of arthritis. Pads are placed on or near the area of pain. Dr Tens uses soothing pulses that are sent via the pads through the skin and along the nerve fibres. The pulses suppress the pain signals to the brain. Dr Tens also encourages the body to produce higher levels of its own natural pain killing chemicals called Endorphins and Encephalins.
