WHAT IS TENS?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a therapy that uses electrical stimulation to relieve pain. The two clinical theories of how TENS works are that it helps to block pain signals and stimulates the nerves to produce endorphins, which reduces sensitivity to pain. Aleve Direct Therapy addresses both by using its patented waveform technology.
What are Endorphins?
Endorphins are chemicals naturally released in the brain that reduce pain.
What does Waveform Mean?
Aleve Direct Therapy has a patented waveform technology designed to incorporate two clinical theories of how TENS provides pain relief: by blocking the transmission of pain and stimulating endorphins, the body’s natural pain reducing chemicals.
