How does TENS work?

TENS relieves pain in two ways. Electrical pulses pass from the machine through electrodes placed over the nerve centres. Benefit is felt firstly by blocking the pain
signals normally sent to the brain through the nerve fibres; thereby interrupting the
brain's awareness of pain.
Secondly, the body is stimulated to increase it's own production of natural
painkillers known as endorphins and enkephalins.
