The TENS unit works through electrodes that are placed near the painful area site.These electrodes are connected to a small box that contains the current needed for pain relief.The current can be adjusted by any health care provider.Adjustment of this current can cause a pins and needles sensation.Pain relief with cutaneous therapy generally is sustained only as long as the stimulation continues.
