Product Description
TENS has become established in recent years as a valuable means of treating chronic pain, and is now commonly used as an alternative to methods such as drug therapy and neurosurgery. As a result of this increased interest in TENS there is now a need for greater education of medical personnel in the use of the technique, and this book aims to provide an overview of the subject to meet this need. The book contains a comprehensive account of the physiology of pain, and of the traditional methods of relieving pain, and then explains the theory of electrical stimulation of the nerves. It discusses the types of pain for which the treatment is suitable, and describes the equipment used. A series of illuminating case histories provides useful examples.
