What is TENS & EMS

TENS, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, has been clinically approved as an effective, drug-free, side-effect-free treatment of relieving physical pains. TENS units emit controlled micro electric currents called pulses through skin to interact with nerves/acupuncture points and relieve pains in mainly four categories: (1) chronic-illness-caused, (2) post-operation-caused, (3) sport-injury-caused, and (4) female-nature-related. The pain relieving/distracting effect comes from two ways: (1) to block the nerve pathway transmitting pain signals and (2) to stimulate the brain to release natural pain killer endorphin. Overall, high frequency pulses are effective in blocking the nerve pathway and low frequency pulses effective in inducing secretion of endorphin.

When TENS is used to stimulate acupuncture points, it is called electronic acupuncture. According to traditional Chinese medical literature, our bodies are covered in micro electric fields called Chi, which is interwoven and channeled through acupuncture points. In a healthy body, the Chi circulates smoothly; while in an ill body, the Chi is weaker and even blocked. Therefore, traditionally, acupuncture practice through tiny needles is applied to stimulate these Chi gateways to restore the smooth circulation of Chi and recover the body to a healthy state. In modern physiology, TENS machines are used to conveniently stimulate many of the acupuncture points overlapping with lymph nodes and nerve pathways, rendering the same pain-relieving benefits of traditional acupuncture practice.

EMS, Electrical Muscle Stimulation/Neuromuscular Muscle Stimulation, has also been widely applied for improving one’s well-being: sport, rehabilitation, anti-stress, cell revitalization…etc. This technology is widely applied to tone muscles of different part of the body as well as slow down muscle atrophy suffered by chronically bed-ridden people. More over, due to the character of EMS electrical pulses, EMS is typically ideal for simulating human massaging techniques as well as exercising specific area muscles. Thus, EMS is also an innovative way for personal beauty care.
