Strains on the outside and inside of the knee joint or a meniscus tear can lead to pain in the joint capsule and joint cartilage. A number of muscles and their ligaments ensure a stable knee.

How a TENS machine can help you with knee joint pain
Through targeted stimulation with TENS, these muscles can be stimulated and blood flow increased to relieve knee joint pain. Better blood circulation and strengthening of the entire leg musculature benefit the knee joint and support pain-free movement. If you strengthen the leg muscles with EMS in addition to the TENS therapy, you can also stabilise your kneecap and the patellar ligament.

Fight your epain 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 knee joint 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.
