What is a Careway TENS Machine?
This Careway TENS Machine helps to relieve aches and pains, including back, shoulder, hand, joint and leg pain. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) machines work by passing small electrical impulses to the affected areas of your body, which may feel like a tingling sensation.
These electrical impulses are able to reduce the pain signals in your brain and spinal cord, helping to relieve pain and relax muscles. Additionally, it may also stimulate the production of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
This TENS machine is lightweight and portable, so you can take it with you on the go. Better yet, as it’s natural, it can even be used alongside medications. It features 6 programme settings so you can remain in control at all times.
