TENS pad placement for carpal tunnel syndrome
What are the causes of carpal tunnel syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome can significantly affect the mobility and feeling of the hands. In this case, the median nerve or middle nerve is constricted in the carpal tunnel of the wrist area. Numbness and sensory disturbances occur in the ball of the thumb, middle finger and carpal bones. The sensations can radiate into the forearm. Swelling of the tendon sheaths occurs.

TENS in combination with heat therapy
You can enhance the effect of your TENS treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome with heat therapy. Heat therapy promotes blood circulation and loosens the muscles. The use of heat is particularly suitable for muscular tension.
Moor heat pack: Due to the filling of natural moor, these heat pads can store the heat longer and release it more evenly than other heat pads, e.g. cherry pit pads.
