Tens or Ems devices are becoming increasingly popular. The reason for this is the possibility of situational and local pain treatment without medication, which is a crucial point for many.
In the following, some important and decisive functional aspects as well as advantages and disadvantages are considered.

Functionality:
The treatment with a TENS / EMS device involves the use of electronic impulses, on the one hand for electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).
This electrical stimulation is processed via electrodes placed on the body via the direct stimulus system. It actually flows electricity. This current is used to influence the perception of pain and the perception by the brain. If the stimulus is alleviated, the user perceives a lesser pain, which in turn leads to a relaxation of the restraint. This causes, among other things, a spasm.

Application:
Different forms of treatment are conceivable in this context and are also used in acute complaints, osteoarthritis, rheumatic complaints and other chronic painful conditions. In this context, it should be noted that this is the external application of electrical stimulation, which should be tuned in nature and extent. On the one hand, this has to be considered in terms of time as well as intensity.
Likewise, the use in high-risk patients or the following patients only by expert advice from a doctor to advise: in heart disease, pregnancy, open wounds, poorly or poorly perfused areas of the body or even in mental illness.
In addition, it should not be used for nonspecific headaches. Children and allergy sufferers should not use the device independently.

Applications:
In general, the commercially available devices can stimulate a variety of body region. Often programs and especially application patterns of the manufacturers are given, which specify both type, extent and intensity as a recommendation.
Whether foot, stomach, neck, legs, buttocks, almost all body areas can be found in the power spectrum. The decisive factor in this context is to compare which product most closely includes my personal application area.

Advantages of Tens:
Significant benefits of using the Tens devices are the direct chance of minimizing medication during enamel treatments. For some chronic diseases there is also recognition or support from the health insurance. Similarly, the reduction of side effects and risks is clearly to highlight compared to a drug treatment: so there is no risk of physical dependence in a prolonged use phase and also according to interacting drugs in the body, no harmful or damaging effect on the organism.

In addition, the application of home or on the road, situational and limited application.

Disadvantages of Tens:
In addition to possible reddening of the skin, tingling may occur during use due to active body stimulation, which may turn into pain depending on the intensity of the application. The more complex and extensive the program portfolio of the devices, the more complex they can become in the field of application. In addition, there are possible misunderstandings in the interpretation of the application description. In this context, and insecure or incorrect handling, this can lead to far-reaching application errors that ultimately serve not the pain relief but harm the user only more.

Conclusion:
Therefore, you should be aware when buying about whether you are able to independently understand the application-specific features of a device or even better finds the right device for itself through the competent advice in a medical specialty store.
One thing is clear: the advantages of such a device outweigh, especially in chronic pain patients the possibility of medical burden can be reduced.
