TENS units and electrodes recommendations
How a TENS machine can help you with hand pain
In many cases, TENS treatment of the hand can reduce the pain to a minimum and possibly achieve complete freedom from pain. This is because the pain therapy promotes blood circulation in the hand, relaxes the muscles and interrupts the transmission of pain impulses.
The correct use of TENS for hand pain
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.

What are the causes of hand pain?
Pain in the hands can be very versatile. Tendon sheath inflammation, pain in the wrist due to wear and tear of the joint, overloading of the metacarpals or the carpal bone or carpal tunnel syndrome can trigger the complaints in the hand area. Hand pain often radiates into the forearm.

TENS in combination with heat therapy
You can enhance the effect of your TENS treatment for hand 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.
