What are the causes of elbow pain?

Joint inflammation in arthrosis, arthritis, rheumatic diseases, tendonitis and inflammation of the synovial bursa are often the cause of severe pain, the treatment of which can be protracted.

How a TENS machine can help you with elbow pain
A TENS application on the elbow often provides relatively quick pain relief. The appropriate device setting and positioning of the TENS electrodes can ensure an interruption of pain transmission through the nerves to the brain. Due to the effect of the electrical impulses of the TENS machine, the nerves are no longer able to transmit the pain stimulus and pain is quickly relieved. Another TENS application at the elbow is to adjust the parameters of the TENS machine so that endorphins are released. Endorphins are pain-relieving, endogenous "anti-pain hormones".

Fight your elbow pain with the TENS stimulation current therapy. Attach the appropriate specially designed pad for pain therapy with a TENS machine as shown in the figure. Alternatively you can use the Elbow pad against Arthrosis.

TENS in combination with heat therapy
You can enhance the effect of your TENS treatment for elbow pain 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.
Hot water bottle: The hot water bottle is a classic in heat therapy that stands out due to its easy application. You only have to fill in warm water. The hot water bottles are also available with a variety of different covers.
