TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) at VIMS Pet Hospital: Gentle Stimulation for Effective Pain Relief
At VIMS Pet Hospital, we offer Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) as a non-invasive, drug-free method for managing pain in pets. This therapy uses gentle electrical impulses to stimulate nerves, providing effective pain relief and promoting healing.

Understanding TENS Therapy:
TENS therapy involves applying small electrodes to your pet's skin in the area experiencing pain. These electrodes deliver low-voltage electrical currents that stimulate nerve fibers. This stimulation can help to:
Block Pain Signals: TENS can interfere with the transmission of pain signals to the brain, providing immediate pain relief.
Stimulate Endorphin Release: TENS can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers.
Improve Circulation: TENS can increase blood flow to the treated area, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.

Conditions That Benefit from TENS Therapy:
TENS therapy can be beneficial for pets with a variety of conditions, particularly those experiencing:
Acute Pain: Post-surgical pain, muscle strains, sprains, and other recent injuries.
Chronic Pain: Arthritis, degenerative joint disease, back pain, and nerve pain.
Muscle Spasms: Reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation.
