Pain-free Therapy and T.E.N.S.

Electrotherapy is another alternative Kintec Footlabs offers to aid you in the event of an injury. Our T.E.N.S. devices are powerful alternatives to medication for pain therapy. Muscle stimulators can speed recovery from an injury and improve quality of life!

We have rental units available for trial purposes, however please consult your doctor or therapist to see if T.E.N.S is right for you.

Our Human Kinetic Specialists will be able to assist you in choosing and using the right machine for your body.

T.E.N.S. works on the premise of two separate theories:

1. The Endorphin Theory: Electrical impulses within the body activate the release of endorphins, our own natural painkillers. An external stimulus will mimic our own reaction to pain and release endorphins accordingly.
   
   
2. The Gate Theory: Like rubbing something painful to dull the pain, the sensation of TENS uses the same pathways to the brain as the pain. If we can get the TENS sensation to the brain before the pain signal, the pain signal is essentially blocked.
