TENS application for wrist pain

With the shift to long and constant computer work, a large proportion of people suffer from regular wrist pain. Fast relief from wrist pain can be achieved with TENS.[1] Releasing muscular tension from a TENS application on the wrist, hand and forearm muscles can lead to significant pain relief after just a short time.
The treatment causes an interruption in the transmission of pain stimuli through the involved nerves from the wrist to the brain. If the pain stimuli are not passed on to the brain, no more pain is felt. Furthermore, a TENS device stimulates the release of endogenous painkilling substances. These are called endorphins[2]. In addition, the TENS treatment is considered to promote blood circulation[3].

TENS electrode placement for wrist pain
Fight your pain with TENS stimulation current therapy. To do this, attach the electrodes as shown in the illustration. We recommend using the pain point electrode patch, which can be easily attached to the wrist, or the 4 x 4 cm electrodes. Alternatively, you can also find a silicone hand roller electrode under accessories here in the shop.
The recommended programs for axion TENS devices
-
-
STIM-PRO T400
P01 and/or P10
-
Please note when using TENS:
The intensity should be adjusted so that it is felt as a pleasant tingling sensation. The duration of the application should be approx. 40 minutes in order to be able to achieve a lasting reduction in pain. It also makes sense to switch programs every now and then.
